A read-only tool for inspecting Istio, a system that manages communication between services in a Kubernetes cluster. It can examine routing resources, gateways, service entries, sidecars, and mesh status.

Use it to list or describe Istio resources, check sidecar injection, inspect configuration status, and analyze traffic routing.

It helps explain how service traffic is routed and whether the service-mesh configuration is healthy, without changing 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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00011	$0.00238
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00095
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00048
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00024

Security

Grade A, and why

istio 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Istio Skill

Provides Istio service mesh inspection via local kubectl:

List VirtualServices, DestinationRules, Gateways, ServiceEntries
Describe Istio resources in detail
Check sidecar injection status
Get Istio configuration status
Analyze service mesh traffic routing

Use builtin_istio tool with fields:

operation: one of "list_vs", "list_dr", "list_gw", "list_se", "describe", "sidecar_status", "analyze"
resource_type: Istio resource type (vs/dr/gw/se) for describe and analyze
name: resource name (required for describe)
namespace: Kubernetes namespace (default: current context namespace)
kubeconfig: path to kubeconfig file (optional)
extra_args: additional kubectl/istioctl arguments

Note: Requires kubectl CLI installed and configured. All operations are read-only.

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.
