registering-services

registering-services is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from desirecore/market. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,054 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for adding an external web service or MCP service to a shared catalogue of available tools. Other agents and people can then discover it and call it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to publish an API or backend you control, or to add a useful public service to the team catalogue.
Why use it?
It avoids repeatedly explaining or setting up the same service for each agent. It also separates registering a service from using it.

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

registering-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 5d 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.

registering-services Skill

L0: One-line Summary

Tell the Agent how to register an external HTTP/MCP service into the global catalog with human governance.

L1: Overview

This meta-skill teaches you (the Agent) how to add a new service to the shared "Apps & Services" catalog. It does not invoke external services itself — once registered, use the per-service Skill at ~/.desirecore/skills/svc-<id>/ or the using-services meta-skill to actually call them.

When to use this skill

  • The user asks to register an API or service (e.g. "add the Acme search endpoint to our catalog")
  • You just deployed a backend you want other Agents to be able to reach
  • You discover a useful public API and want to make it shareable

When NOT to use it

  • One-off HTTP calls that nobody else needs to repeat — just call HttpRequest directly
  • Adding an MCP server to your own agent only — POST to /api/agents/<your-id>/mcp-servers instead, no catalog entry needed
  • Modifying an existing catalog entry — the user must promote/reject through the Store UI

L2: How to register a service

Step 1 — Gather the required fields

Before calling the API, collect:

Field Required Notes
id yes kebab-case, globally unique (e.g. acme-search-api)
name yes Human-readable display name
description yes One sentence — what it does
protocol yes 'http' or 'mcp'
tags yes Searchable list, e.g. ['search', 'web']
registeredBy yes Your own agent id
endpoint required when protocol='http' Base URL of the API
riskLevel recommended low / medium / high / critical
auth when API requires auth { type, secretRef } — see below
operations recommended Operations list for the per-service Skill
capabilities optional What this service can do

Step 2 — Choose riskLevel honestly

riskLevel decides whether future calls to this service trigger an approval gate:

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.
