forensics-osquery

A system investigation tool that lets you query Linux, macOS, and Windows computers with SQL, a language commonly used to search structured data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for forensic evidence collection, threat hunting, and responding to security incidents on computers.
Why use it?
It makes it quicker to collect system evidence and look for signs of attacks across computers during a security investigation.

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 B, and why

forensics-osquery scanned grade B with 3 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 yesterday.

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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- Run osqueryi with sudo/admin privileges: `sudo osqueryi`

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Reaches for credential filesmediumPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

OR (pm.path = '/etc/shadow' OR pm.path LIKE '%SAM%');

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.

forensics-osquery is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgentSecOps/SecOpsAgentKit (201 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 4,577 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (asks for root, reaches for credential files, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
