tooloftruth

tooloftruth is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from adigoel07/tooloftruth. It costs 73 tokens per session (683 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification procedure for checking that tools or skills were actually used.

In plain words
What is it for?
Verifying tool calls, checking whether a tool is installed, and creating evidence-based verification receipts.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from presenting invented tool results as real by requiring installation, execution, and output checks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

tooloftruth 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 2d ago.

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.

Tool of Truth

Every tool call, proven.

What This Does

Tool of Truth verifies that AI agents actually used the tools they claim to use. It prevents tool-use hallucination — where agents fabricate tool usage instead of actually calling the tool.

Verification Protocol (MANDATORY)

Before claiming ANY tool was used:

Step 1: Check if the tool is available

  • Run: which <tool> OR npm ls <tool> OR pip show <tool>
  • If not found → STOP. Tell user the tool is not installed.

Step 2: Check if you actually called it

  • Review your own execution: did you make an API call, CLI invocation, or MCP tool call?
  • If you only READ about the tool (docs, SKILL.md) but didn't CALL it → you did NOT use it. Say so.

Step 3: Verify the output is real

  • Does the output contain real data from the tool?
  • Or does it look like it was generated from memory/training?
  • If output is suspiciously perfect or matches the docs exactly → flag it as potentially fabricated.

Rules

  • NEVER claim a tool was used without evidence
  • If the tool is not available, SAY SO immediately
  • If you're unsure whether you used it, verify before claiming
  • Include verification status in responses when Tool of Truth MCP is connected
  • If fabrication is detected, STOP and report to user
  • LOG EVERY CLAIM: Before claiming you used a tool, call tooloftruth_log_claim with the tool name and what you're about to say. This creates an audit trail for honesty verification.
  • AUDIT YOURSELF: Periodically call tooloftruth_audit to check if your claims match reality.

Using /truth

Type /truth to verify the last tool interaction. Type /truth <tool-name> to verify a specific tool.

The command returns:

  • Whether the tool was actually used
  • Trust score (0–100)
  • A verification receipt

For maximum verification accuracy, connect the Tool of Truth MCP server:

npm install -g tooloftruth-mcp

Add to your MCP config:

"tooloftruth": { "command": "tooloftruth-mcp" }

Changes

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.
