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

freshdesk-api scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

Freshdesk API

Overview

Build integrations with Freshdesk's helpdesk platform using their REST API v2. Manage support tickets, contacts, companies, agents, and automate workflows. The API supports full CRUD operations on all major resources with filtering, pagination, and embedded data.

When to Use

  • Building helpdesk integrations or support dashboards
  • Extracting and analyzing support ticket data
  • Automating ticket routing, assignment, or updates
  • Syncing contacts/companies with CRM systems
  • Creating custom reporting on support metrics
  • Implementing chatbots or AI-powered support tools
  • Migrating data to/from Freshdesk

Prerequisites

API Key Setup

  1. Log into Freshdesk as an Admin
  2. Click your profile picture → Profile Settings
  3. Find your API Key on the right sidebar
  4. Store securely (never commit to version control)
# Set environment variable
export FRESHDESK_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
export FRESHDESK_DOMAIN="yourcompany"  # From yourcompany.freshdesk.com

Required Tools

  • curl for HTTP requests
  • jq for JSON parsing (brew install jq on macOS)
  • For SDKs: Python 3.6+, Node.js 14+, or Ruby 2.7+

API Base URL

https://{domain}.freshdesk.com/api/v2/

Replace {domain} with your Freshdesk subdomain (e.g., acme for acme.freshdesk.com).

Authentication

Freshdesk uses HTTP Basic Authentication with your API key as the username and X as the password.

curl Example

# Using -u flag (username:password)
curl -u "$FRESHDESK_API_KEY:X" \
  "https://$FRESHDESK_DOMAIN.freshdesk.com/api/v2/tickets"

# Using Authorization header
curl -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n "$FRESHDESK_API_KEY:X" | base64)" \
  "https://$FRESHDESK_DOMAIN.freshdesk.com/api/v2/tickets"

Headers

Always include:

Content-Type: application/json

Quick Start

Get All Tickets

curl -u "$FRESHDESK_API_KEY:X" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://$FRESHDESK_DOMAIN.freshdesk.com/api/v2/tickets"

What ships with it

4 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.
