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

companies-house 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 12d 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 — 277 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You have access to the companies-house MCP server, which provides tools for querying the UK Companies House API. Use this skill to help users research UK companies, officers, ownership, and corporate history.

Workflow

Start broad, go deep:

  1. Find the company — Use search_companies to get the company number. Numbers are eight characters, zero-padded (00445790). Scotland uses SC, Northern Ireland NI, LLPs OC, overseas companies FC. Shorter all-digit numbers are padded automatically.

  2. Get the overview — Use company_report. One call returns the profile, officers in post, PSCs, charges, recent filings and any insolvency record, plus a coverage section saying how much of each list it retrieved. Start here for most requests.

  3. Go deeper as needed:

    • Ownership → get_ownership
    • One officer's history → get_appointments with the officer id
    • An officer across companies → officer_network
    • What is on the register that a reviewer should look at → due_diligence_check
    • Specific filings → get_filings with a category
    • Charge detail → get_charges
    • The filed document itself → download_filing_document

Available Tools

Tool Use When
search_companies Finding a company by name. Supports filters: status, type, SIC code, location, incorporation date.
search_officers Finding a person across all companies. Returns officer IDs for deeper queries.
get_company_profile Getting detailed profile for a known company number.
get_officers Listing directors and secretaries. Returns officers in post by default; include_resigned: true for the full history.
get_appointments Seeing all companies an officer is/was associated with. Needs officer ID.
get_ownership PSCs — who owns/controls the company. Individual, corporate, and legal person PSCs.
get_filings Filing history. Filter by category: accounts, officers, mortgage, capital, etc.
get_charges Mortgages/debentures. Outstanding vs satisfied charges.
get_insolvency Insolvency cases, practitioners, proceedings.
company_report Recommended starting point. One call returns profile, officers in post, PSCs, charges, recent filings and insolvency, with a coverage statement.
due_diligence_check Screening summary of the public register. Reports observations, the checks it ran, the checks it could not run, and what the register cannot establish. Not a verdict.
officer_network Map all appointments for an officer. Takes name or officer ID.
get_company_registers Where the company keeps its statutory registers.
get_exemptions Company exemptions (rare).
get_uk_establishments UK branches of overseas companies.
get_officer_disqualifications Look up one officer id in the disqualified directors register. An empty result is not proof the person was never disqualified.
get_filing_document Metadata for a specific filing (needs transaction ID from get_filings).
download_filing_document Retrieve the filed document itself. Returns it as an attached resource; metadata_only inspects size and formats first.

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.
