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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00089 | $0.01297 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00648 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00259 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00130 |
Grade A, and why
orchardcore-ai-tool-instances 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 7d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Orchard Core AI Tool Instances
An AI tool instance is an administrator-created function built from a developer-registered tool instance source. A source is a reusable blueprint; each named instance has its own description, settings, permission, and function name.
Enable the feature
Enable CrestApps.OrchardCore.AI.ToolInstances. It depends on the AI Services
feature and adds Artificial Intelligence → Tool Instances.
Every instance requires a unique Name and a Description. The name cannot be changed after creation because it is used to derive the sanitized function name exposed to the model. The description should state the concrete purpose of the instance, especially when several instances use the same source.
Built-in HTTP API Request source
The feature registers the http-api-request source. It supports:
- Base URL and HTTP method such as
GET,POST,PUT,PATCH, orDELETE. - Optional timeout and static JSON headers.
- Model-provided relative paths, query parameters, and request bodies.
None, API key, Basic, and OAuth 2.0 authentication.
Allow model-provided values only for the request parts that the instance is designed to expose. API keys, tokens, passwords, and client secrets are protected with ASP.NET Core data protection. Leaving a secret field empty when editing preserves the stored value.
Assign instances to AI capabilities
The Tool Instances selector is available on:
- AI Profile capabilities.
- AI Profile Template capabilities when the template source is
Profile. - Chat Interaction capabilities.
- Post-session processing capabilities.
Live and post-session selections are stored separately. An instance selected for a live conversation is not automatically available during post-session processing.
Permissions
The feature provides:
ManageAIToolInstancesto manage instances owned by the current user.ManageAIToolInstancesCreatedByOthersto manage instances owned by others.- A dynamic
AccessAITool_{functionName}permission for each instance.
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.

orchardcore-ai-tool-instances is a skill published in the GitHub repository CrestApps/CrestApps.AgentSkills (13 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,297 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
