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 | $0.00096 | $0.01322 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00661 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00264 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00132 |
Grade A, and why
render-private-services 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.
This is a copy
94% identical to render-private-services — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Render Private Services
Private services are identical to web services except they have no public URL. They are reachable only by other Render services on the same private network (same region + workspace). Use them for internal APIs, microservices, gRPC servers, sidecar processes, and anything that should never face the internet.
When to Use
- Building an internal API or microservice behind a public gateway
- Running a gRPC, TCP, or other non-HTTP server that only your services call
- Deploying infrastructure components (Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, RabbitMQ)
- Choosing between a private service and a background worker
For public-facing HTTP services, use render-web-services. For services that don't receive any traffic, use render-background-workers.
Private Service vs Background Worker
| Criterion | Private Service | Background Worker |
|---|---|---|
| Binds to a port | Yes (required) | No |
| Receives private network traffic | Yes | No |
| Sends outbound traffic | Yes | Yes |
| Has internal hostname | Yes | No |
| Use case | Internal APIs, gRPC, TCP servers | Queue consumers, async processors |
Rule of thumb: If the process listens on a port and other services call it, it's a private service. If it pulls work from a queue and never receives requests, it's a background worker.
How Private Services Work
- No
onrender.comsubdomain—not reachable from the internet - Reachable at
<service-name>:<port>on the private network by services in the same region and workspace - Can listen on any port (except restricted system ports)—not limited to HTTP or port 10000
- Supports any protocol: HTTP, gRPC, TCP, WebSocket, custom binary protocols
- Same build/deploy lifecycle as web services (build command, start command, pre-deploy, health checks via the private network)
- Supports persistent disks, scaling, Docker runtime—same capabilities as web services
What ships with it
2 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.

render-private-services is a skill published in the GitHub repository cass-2003/local-workflow-skill (12 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 1,322 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to render-private-services, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.
