Apache SkyWalking BanyanDB is a database for collecting, analyzing, and storing metrics, traces, and logs produced by observability and application-performance systems. It is intended for platforms such as Apache SkyWalking that need to work with monitoring data.
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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Tool Misuse · line 68 Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00095 | $0.00889 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00356 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00178 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00089 |
Grade A, and why
vendor-update 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 9d 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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Upgrade vendor dependencies
Run the vendor-update Make target across all projects:
make vendor-update
This runs go get -u ./... and go mod tidy -compat=1.26 in each project directory (ui, banyand, bydbctl, mcp, fodc/agent, fodc/proxy, pkg, test).
Update license dependencies
After the vendor upgrade completes, run make license-dep to update any license-related files that may have changed due to new or updated dependencies:
make license-dep
This ensures license headers and dependency license files stay in sync with the upgraded vendors.
Check for tool version drift
After upgrading, compare go.mod dependency versions against scripts/build/version.mk to find any tools whose library version was bumped and may need their tool version updated.
Version mapping
Read scripts/build/version.mk and go.mod in parallel. For each tool version variable, check if the corresponding library in go.mod was upgraded:

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.

vendor-update is a skill published in the GitHub repository apache/skywalking-banyandb (354 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 889 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
