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 | $0.00100 | $0.01546 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00050 | $0.00773 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00309 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00155 |
Grade C, and why
brave-search scanned grade C 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 11d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Brave Search API
Base URL: https://api.search.brave.com/res/v1
Authentication
Every request requires these headers:
X-Subscription-Token: <BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY>
Accept: application/json
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Cache-Control: no-cache
Missing Cache-Control: no-cache returns 422. Missing token returns 401.

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.

brave-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository bdmorin/the-no-shop (10 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 1,546 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (harvests environment variables, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
