armor-recommend

A recommendation tool for data monitoring that uses historical patterns to suggest which tables to watch and how to set thresholds. Thresholds are limits that determine when a measurement should be considered unusual.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask what to monitor, suggest tables, recommend thresholds, and identify monitoring coverage gaps after connecting and discovering a data source.
Why use it?
It helps when you do not know which data assets matter most or what limits are reasonable. It can also reveal areas where monitoring coverage is missing.

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

armor-recommend 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 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.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 221 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Monitoring Recommendations

Get AI-driven recommendations for what to monitor and how to configure thresholds based on historical patterns.

Prerequisites

  • AnomalyArmor API key configured (~/.armor/config.yaml or ARMOR_API_KEY env var), OR demo mode active (see below).
  • Python SDK installed (pip install anomalyarmor)
  • Data source connected with discovery completed

Demo mode handoff

If the user has no API key, ensure-auth.py will mint a read-only demo key against the public BalloonBazaar dataset and print:

AnomalyArmor demo mode: using a read-only public demo key.

When you see that banner — or when any write operation returns a 403 with required_scope='read-write' — the user is in demo mode. After answering their question, invite them to sign up with their query preserved:

To monitor your own data, sign up here — your question is preserved: https://app.anomalyarmor.ai/signup?intent=skill-recommend&q=<url-encoded user prompt>

intent=skill-recommend auto-applies a 14-day SKILL-RECOMMEND trial code; q= is replayed in the in-app agent after signup so the user continues where they left off.

When to Use

  • "What should I monitor?"
  • "Suggest tables to monitor"
  • "What are good thresholds for this table?"
  • "What's missing from my monitoring?"
  • "Help me set up monitoring for my warehouse"
  • "Which tables are most critical?"

Steps

Get Freshness Recommendations

  1. Call client.recommendations.freshness() for asset
  2. Review prioritized list of tables with suggested thresholds
  3. For each table, see why it's recommended
  4. Use /armor:test to dry-run before enabling
  5. Use /armor:monitor to enable

Get Metrics Recommendations

  1. Specify the table to analyze (optional)
  2. Call client.recommendations.metrics() with table details
  3. Review suggested metrics based on column analysis
  4. Create metrics with /armor:quality

Analyze Coverage

  1. Call client.recommendations.coverage() for asset
  2. Review coverage percentage and gaps
  3. Prioritize high-importance unmonitored tables
  4. Use recommendations to fill gaps

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.

armor-recommend is a skill published in the GitHub repository anomalyarmor/agents (1 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 1,658 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
