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.

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 | $0.00051 | $0.00481 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00241 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00096 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00048 |
Grade A, and why
observability-edot-java-instrument 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 2d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to observability-edot-java-instrument — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
EDOT Java Instrumentation
Read the setup guide before making changes:
Guidelines
- Use
elastic-otel-javaagent.jar(download from Maven Central, not a Maven/Gradle compile dependency) - Attach via
-javaagent:/path/to/elastic-otel-javaagent.jarorJAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-javaagent:/path/to/elastic-otel-javaagent.jar"— without this the agent does nothing - Set exactly three required environment variables:
OTEL_SERVICE_NAMEOTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT— must be the managed OTLP endpoint or EDOT Collector URL. Never use an APM Server URL (noapm-server, no:8200, no/intake/v2/events)OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS—"Authorization=ApiKey <key>"or"Authorization=Bearer <token>"
- Do NOT set
OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER,OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER, orOTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER— the defaults are already correct - Never run both classic Elastic APM agent and EDOT agent on the same JVM
Examples
See the EDOT Java setup guide for complete Dockerfile and docker-compose examples.
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.

observability-edot-java-instrument is a skill published in the GitHub repository elastic/cursor-plugins (31 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 481 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to observability-edot-java-instrument, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
