Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00112 | $0.00669 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00045 | $0.00268 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00134 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00067 |
Grade A, and why
dev-to-cli scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
Do not use raw curl or ad hoc HTTP calls when this CLI covers the task. What it actually says
<quick_start>
The dev_to CLI follows this pattern:
dev_to <command-group> <action> [arguments] [options]
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
dev_to posts list --limit 10 |
List your DEV articles |
dev_to posts get 123456 |
Fetch one DEV article by ID |
dev_to posts create --title "..." --body-file post.md |
Create a new DEV article |
dev_to posts unpublish 123456 |
Unpublish a DEV article and return it to draft |
dev_to auth status |
Check whether an API key is configured and valid |
dev_to auth profiles list |
Inspect saved auth profiles |
dev_to cache clear |
Remove cached list/get responses |
| </quick_start> |
<essential_principles>
MANDATORY: Consult the adjacent usage.json at <cli-tools-root>/_repo/skills/<tool>-cli/usage.json before executing ANY dev_to command.
This file contains complete command syntax, all arguments, all options, and usage instructions for every command. Never guess at command syntax.

<success_criteria>
- Command executes without error
- Output is displayed in requested format
- Correct command and flags used (verified against usage.json) </success_criteria>
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
