What is phantombuster?

An integration with PhantomBuster, a service that runs automated tasks through configurable agents called phantoms, focused here on LinkedIn. It can manage phantoms, launch or stop them, retrieve their output, and work with stored leads.

Listing and inspecting phantoms, launching messaging, connection-request, or profile-visit automations, checking running jobs, retrieving output, and managing lead data.

It puts LinkedIn automation and its results behind one API workflow instead of requiring each operation to be handled manually in the PhantomBuster interface.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00101	$0.01647
Opus 5.5	$0.00040	$0.00659
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00329
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00165

Measured 1mo ago against content hash ab07009f4813, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

phantombuster 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (scripts/auth.py, scripts/get_agent.py, scripts/get_org.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What ships with it

9 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.

Changes

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.
