update-agent

update-agent is a skill for Claude Code from BerriAI/litellm-skills. It costs 45 tokens per session (354 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An admin action for changing an existing AI agent on a LiteLLM proxy, a service that routes requests to language models. It can update the agent’s model, description, usage limits, and access to MCP servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to change which model an agent uses, edit its description, adjust requests-per-minute or tokens-per-minute limits, or change its MCP server access.
Why use it?
It avoids manually editing proxy settings or recreating an agent when its configuration needs to change. The agent keeps the same ID.

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

update-agent scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Update Agent

Update an existing AI agent on a live LiteLLM proxy.

Setup

LITELLM_BASE_URL  — e.g. https://my-proxy.example.com
LITELLM_API_KEY   — proxy admin key

Ask the user

  1. agent_id — if they don't have it, list first:
    curl -s "$BASE/v1/agents" -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"
    
  2. What to change — any combination of:
    • model (swap the underlying model)
    • description
    • tpm_limit / rpm_limit
    • MCP server access

Run

Use PATCH to update only the changed fields:

curl -s -X PATCH "$BASE/v1/agents/<agent_id>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "litellm_params": {"model": "<new_model>"},
    "agent_card_params": {"description": "<new_description>"}
  }'

Output

Show the updated agent name, model, and description. Confirm the agent ID is unchanged.

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.
