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

http_request 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (request.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

HTTP Request

When to Use

  • Call REST APIs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH)
  • Test or probe API endpoints
  • Fetch JSON or data from a URL
  • Send request bodies and custom headers

When NOT to Use

  • Web search — use tavily_search (web_search tool)
  • Scraping page content — use web_scraper
  • Simple file downloads — use curl or wget
  • GitHub operations — use github skill

Setup

Install dependency: pip install requests

Usage/Commands

python {skill_path}/request.py URL [options]
Option Description
`--method GET POST
--data '{"key": "value"}' JSON request body
--header "Name: Value" Custom header (repeatable)
--timeout N Timeout in seconds
`--format text json

Notes

  • For APIs requiring auth, use --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
  • JSON body must be valid; escape quotes properly for shell
  • Prefer this for structured API calls; use web_scraper for HTML extraction
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
