What is 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.

Use it for forensic evidence collection, threat hunting, and responding to security incidents on computers.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00129	$0.04577
Opus 5.5	$0.00052	$0.01831

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 1mo 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.

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%');

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

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

- **Safe Defaults**: Use read-only queries during investigations to avoid system modification. Test complex queries in lab environments before production use. Monitor osqueryd resource consumption to prevent denial of se

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

What ships with it

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.

forensics-osquery is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgentSecOps/SecOpsAgentKit (222 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 4,577 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
