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 | $0.00103 | $0.01094 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00438 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00219 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00109 |
Grade A, and why
paypal-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
<quick_start>
The paypal CLI follows this pattern:
paypal <command-group> <action> [arguments] [options]
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Check auth status | paypal auth status |
| Send a payout | paypal payouts create --receiver [email protected] --amount 10.00 |
| Check batch status | paypal payouts get BATCH_ID |
| Get payout item | paypal payouts get-item ITEM_ID |
| Cancel unclaimed payout | paypal payouts cancel-item ITEM_ID |
| Preview a direct capture refund | paypal refunds create CAPTURE_ID --amount 4.50 --dry-run |
| Preview a BrickLink refund | paypal refunds from-bricklink ORDER_ID --amount 4.50 --dry-run |
| Preview with verified BrickLink order JSON | paypal refunds from-bricklink ORDER_ID --order-json order-context.json --amount 4.50 --dry-run |
| Refresh browser session | paypal auth login -c browser_session --force |
| List profiles | paypal auth profiles list --table |
| Switch profile | paypal auth profiles set-default production |
Auth status output uses the shared profile shape: {"profiles":[{"name":"default","authenticated":true,"credential_types":{...}}]}. Read auth profiles[].authenticated for per-profile status; do not expect a flat top-level authenticated field.
</quick_start>
<essential_principles>
MANDATORY: Consult the adjacent usage.json at <cli-tools-root>/_repo/skills/<tool>-cli/usage.json before executing ANY paypal command.
This file contains complete command syntax, all arguments, all options, and usage instructions for every command. Never guess at command syntax.
If Computer Use or local GUI control is unavailable under the current host policy, stop and report that blocker. Do not script PayPal credential entry, CAPTCHA navigation, or browser-session capture with Playwright, browser-harness, manual session-file edits, or custom Chrome automation outside this auth command.
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.
