render-networking

render-networking is a skill for Codex from cass-2003/local-workflow-skill. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,331 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of render-networking, MIT.

A guide for letting Render services communicate over a private network instead of the public internet. It covers internal hostnames, service discovery, ports, and which services can connect to each other.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect APIs, databases, and other services, configure internal URLs, support communication across scaled instances, and troubleshoot private-network access.
Why use it?
Service-to-service connections often fail because services are in different regions or workspaces, use the wrong hostname, or expose the wrong port. Private networking keeps internal traffic separate from public access.

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

render-networking 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 6d 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.

Render private networking

Render’s private network lets services talk to each other without exposing traffic on the public internet. Use this skill when users need internal connectivity, discovery across scaled instances, or correct URL/port behavior for Blueprints and the Dashboard.

When to Use This Skill

  • Designing or debugging service-to-service traffic on Render
  • Questions about internal hostnames, internal URLs, or Connect > Internal in the Dashboard
  • Service discovery across multiple instances (custom load balancing, mesh-style setups)
  • Port limits, reserved ports, or multi-port web services (public vs private)
  • Free-tier web services and who can send vs receive private traffic
  • Environment isolation (Professional+) or AWS PrivateLink for private egress/ingress patterns

For step-by-step architecture examples and Blueprint patterns, see references/communication-patterns.md. For failure modes and fixes, see references/troubleshooting.md.

Private Network Basics

Private connectivity is available only when all of the following hold:

  • Services are in the same region
  • Services are in the same workspace

If either differs, private DNS and internal routing will not connect those services.

Who can communicate

Resource Private inbound Private outbound Internal hostname
Web Service Yes (paid tiers; see Free tier below) Yes Yes
Private Service Yes Yes Yes
Background Worker No Yes No
Cron Job No Yes No
Workflow Run No Yes No
Static Site Not on private network
Managed Postgres Via internal URL (from allowed clients) N/A (datastore) Via internal URL
Key Value Via internal URL (from allowed clients) N/A (datastore) Via internal URL

Free-tier Web Services: They may send private traffic to other services, but they cannot receive inbound private traffic. Plan upgrades or topology changes apply if a free web service must accept private connections.
