network-tools is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chaterm/terminal-skills. It costs 8 tokens per session (1,288 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of Linux instructions for configuring networks and diagnosing connection problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect or change interfaces and routes, test hosts with ping, trace network paths with traceroute or mtr, and query DNS.
Why use it?
It gathers commands for checking addresses, routes, DNS, and connectivity, so you can narrow down where a network failure occurs.

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 B, and why

network-tools scanned grade B with 2 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 9d 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

curl -X POST -d "data=value" http://example.com

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Connectivity Testing

ping

ping hostname
ping -c 4 hostname                  # Send 4 packets
ping -i 0.2 hostname                # 0.2 second interval

traceroute

traceroute hostname
traceroute -n hostname              # Don't resolve hostnames
traceroute -T hostname              # Use TCP

# Filter
ss -t state established
ss -t dst 192.168.1.1
ss -t sport = :80

netstat Command

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.

network-tools is a skill published in the GitHub repository chaterm/terminal-skills (58 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 1,288 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
