render-private-services

render-private-services is a skill for Codex from cass-2003/local-workflow-skill. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,322 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of render-private-services, MIT.

A Render deployment configuration for private services, which are applications with no public URL that can be reached only by other services on Render’s private network.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy internal HTTP APIs, gRPC or TCP servers, sidecars, and services such as Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, or RabbitMQ on Render.
Why use it?
It helps keep internal APIs, microservices, infrastructure components, and non-public servers off the open internet while still allowing service-to-service traffic.

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-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.

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.com subdomain—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 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.
