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

postman-hardened 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 596 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Postman Agent Skill

Version: 1.1.0 (Phase 1 - Core API Compatibility) API Support: Postman v10+ (with v9 graceful degradation)

🚀 Quick Start

When you first use this skill, Claude will automatically:

  1. ✅ Validate your API key and connection
  2. 📁 Check your workspace configuration
  3. 📊 Count your collections and resources
  4. 💡 Suggest next steps if setup is incomplete

First time setup validation:

# Claude will run this automatically on first use
python scripts/validate_setup.py

Common first questions that work immediately:

  • "How many collections do I have?" - Lists all collections in your workspace
  • "Show me my workspaces" - Displays available workspaces
  • "Validate my setup" - Runs comprehensive diagnostics
  • "Create a new collection called 'Test API'" - Starts building immediately

🤖 Note for Claude: On first use of this skill in a conversation, ALWAYS run:

python scripts/validate_setup.py

This provides immediate diagnostics and context before proceeding with the user's request.

✅ Network Compatibility

This skill works across multiple Claude environments with proper proxy configuration.

Where This Skill Works

Environment Status Notes
Claude Web Interface Fully Supported Works with configured proxy
Claude API (Code Execution) Fully Supported No network restrictions
Local Python Scripts Fully Supported Direct execution on your machine
Claude Desktop ⚠️ Limited Requires api.getpostman.com in network allowlist

Proxy Configuration

The skill is designed to work with proxy environments:

  • Keeps proxy environment variables intact for proper DNS resolution
  • Handles nested HTTP responses from proxy servers
  • Supports HTTP/2 responses through proxies
  • Debug mode available with POSTMAN_DEBUG=1 environment variable

How to Use This Skill

Option 1: Claude Web Interface (Recommended) Use the skill directly in Claude web interface. The proxy is pre-configured and handles all network requests automatically.

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.
