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 | $0.00038 | $0.00902 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00451 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00180 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00090 |
Grade A, and why
new-a2a-agent 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are scaffolding a new A2A-compliant AG2 agent for deployment as a standalone service.
Instructions
-
Ask the user for:
- Agent name and purpose
- What tools/capabilities it needs
- Authentication requirements (Bearer, OAuth2, none)
- Skills the agent exposes (human-readable capabilities)
- Whether it needs connector/token middleware
-
Create the agent following this exact structure:

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.

new-a2a-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository ag2ai/ag2-claude-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 902 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
