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

tavily-search scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 18d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/search_client.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AIsa agent rules (shared)

These rules apply to every AIsa-backed skill and are copied from https://aisa.one/llms.txt, the single authoritative agent rule source. When this block and the rest of this skill disagree, follow this block.

Connect (MCP first)

Pick the first option that applies. Run the command yourself; the user only approves the browser sign-in.

  • A. Your client supports remote MCP and can open a browser (default). Add a remote MCP server named AIsa with URL https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp (Streamable HTTP), using your client's own command or config file. Auth: browser OAuth, no key needed. In a chat app (Claude, ChatGPT), the user adds it as a custom connector in settings. Adding the server does not always start sign-in. If no sign-in window opens, start it from the client's own MCP authentication entry (a menu, command, or connector button); if only the user can reach that entry, tell them where it is. Sign-in is the slow step, not the API. Before it starts, tell the user in one line that an AIsa sign-in window or card is about to open and to click Allow (one click if the browser is already signed in to AIsa). Do not call step 2 until the user says sign-in is done or the AIsa tools appear; calling it earlier only returns 401, so do not retry in a loop. If the client must restart to load the server, tell the user and wait. If you cannot add the connector yourself (sandbox, permission denied), give the user the server name and URL above and wait. Do not fall back to another method.
  • B. Your client supports remote MCP but has no browser (CI, SSH, container). Same endpoint, with the header Authorization: Bearer $AISA_API_KEY set in your client's MCP config instead of browser sign-in. If AISA_API_KEY is not set, ask the user to create a key at https://console.aisa.one/api-keys and set it in the environment; never ask them to paste it into chat. Never print, log, or commit the key.
  • C. The client has no MCP support. Use the CLI: npm install -g @aisa-one/cli && aisa login (Node.js 18+). Guide: https://aisa.one/docs/get-started/cli.md
  • D. Calling AIsa over HTTP from your own code. LLMs, OpenAI-compatible: https://api.aisa.one/v1 (Gemini GenerateContent: https://api.aisa.one/v1beta). Data APIs: https://api.aisa.one/apis/v1. Auth: Authorization: Bearer $AISA_API_KEY. Exact paths and schemas: https://aisa.one/docs/api-reference

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.
