altimate-setup

A setup guide for connecting the Altimate platform to datamate and its API, using account details such as an instance name and API key.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure or update Altimate credentials, set the optional MCP server address, protect the credentials file, and validate access.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of locating the configuration file, entering credentials, securing it, and checking whether the connection works.

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 D, and why

altimate-setup scanned grade D with 2 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 2d 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.

Harvests environment variableshighData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

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

What it actually says

Altimate Setup

Guide the user through configuring their Altimate platform credentials.

Steps

  1. Check existing config: Read ~/.altimate/altimate.json. If it exists and is valid, show the current config (mask the API key) and ask if they want to update it.

  2. Gather credentials: Ask the user for:

    • Altimate URL (default: https://api.myaltimate.com)
    • Instance name (their tenant/org name, e.g. megatenant)
    • API key (from Altimate platform settings)
    • MCP server URL (optional, default: https://mcpserver.getaltimate.com/sse)
  3. Write config: Create ~/.altimate/ directory if needed, then write ~/.altimate/altimate.json:

    {
      "altimateUrl": "<url>",
      "altimateInstanceName": "<instance>",
      "altimateApiKey": "<key>",
      "mcpServerUrl": "<mcp-url>"
    }
    

    Then set permissions to owner-only: chmod 600 ~/.altimate/altimate.json

  4. Validate: Call the datamate_manager tool with operation: "list" to verify the credentials work. Report success or failure to the user.

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.

altimate-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository AltimateAI/altimate-code (803 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 316 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (harvests environment variables, asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
