Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00024 | $0.02082 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00833 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00416 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00208 |
Grade B, and why
benchmarking-kubernetes-with-kube-bench scanned grade B 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 today.
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 rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Benchmarking Kubernetes with kube-bench
Overview
kube-bench (by Aqua Security) is an open-source tool that checks whether a Kubernetes cluster is deployed securely by running the checks documented in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. It inspects the control-plane components (API server, controller manager, scheduler, etcd), the kubelet and worker-node configuration, and cluster-wide policy settings, then reports each check as PASS, FAIL, WARN, or INFO with a remediation recommendation drawn directly from the CIS guidance. Tests are configuration-driven YAML files, so kube-bench tracks new Kubernetes versions and benchmark revisions and supports managed distributions (EKS, GKE, AKS, ACK, OpenShift, RKE, k3s).
Hardening a cluster against the CIS Benchmark directly reduces the attack surface for T1610 (Deploy Container), where an adversary deploys a container to execute code or evade defenses — for example by abusing privileged containers, host namespaces, anonymous API access, or insecure kubelet settings that an unhardened cluster leaves exposed.
kube-bench can run as a standalone binary on a node, inside a container, or — most commonly — as a Kubernetes Job whose pod has the host filesystem mounted so it can read the relevant config files. Output is available as human-readable text, JSON, JUnit, or AWS Security Finding Format (ASFF) and can be pushed to a PostgreSQL database for trend tracking.
When to Use
- When establishing a security baseline for a new Kubernetes cluster against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark.
- When performing periodic compliance audits of control-plane and node hardening.
- When validating remediation after applying hardening changes (re-run to confirm checks now PASS).
- When integrating cluster compliance scanning into CI/CD or a continuous monitoring pipeline.
- When preparing evidence for SOC 2, PCI DSS, or internal hardening compliance.
Prerequisites
- Access to the cluster: either SSH access to a control-plane/worker node (binary mode) or
kubectlwith permission to create Jobs (in-cluster mode). - Knowledge of the cluster's Kubernetes version (kube-bench auto-detects, or specify with
--version/--benchmark). - Install kube-bench (Aqua Security official methods):
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

benchmarking-kubernetes-with-kube-bench is a skill published in the GitHub repository andycungkrinx91/konoha (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 2,082 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-25.
