eval-agents

An evaluator for Claude Code agents, which are reusable AI workers defined in project files. It checks whether their descriptions, models, tools, and instructions make them suitable and safe for automated workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an agent collection before connecting it to an orchestrator, after adding or copying agents, or during regular maintenance.
Why use it?
Poorly defined agents can be selected for the wrong jobs, use excessive permissions, or require human input that an automated workflow cannot provide.

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

eval-agents 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 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.

Unrestricted tool accesslowExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

- **`tools: "*"` wildcard**: full session access, treat as equivalent to no tools field unless the system prompt explicitly justifies why unrestricted tools are needed (e.g., a general-purpose agent)

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 305 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent Evaluator

Discover all agents in scope, score each one across five criteria, then run an interactive session to confirm or improve them one by one.

Agents are not just scripts: they are callable units selected by orchestrators based on their description. A vague description silently breaks multi-agent workflows. The goal here is not just scoring; it is leaving every agent correctly scoped, correctly modeled, and safe to call from an orchestrator.

When to Use

  • First time auditing an agent fleet before wiring it into an orchestration pipeline
  • An orchestrator keeps selecting the wrong agent for a task
  • After copying agents from another project or importing a plugin
  • A new agent was added; checking whether it conflicts with existing ones
  • Periodic hygiene: "do all these agents still do something distinct?"

Key Concepts

Agent file locations

Location Scope Committed?
.claude/agents/<name>.md Project (flat file) Yes
.claude/agents/<name>/AGENT.md Project (directory-based) Yes
~/.claude/agents/<name>.md User-level No
Plugin agents/*.md Per plugin Yes (in plugin)

Both flat files and directory-based agents are valid. The agent name is always the filename or directory name, not the name: field in frontmatter (though they should match).

Frontmatter fields

Field Required Notes
name No Display label. The runtime key is always the filename/directory.
description Yes (for dispatch) Used by orchestrators to select agents. Vague = wrong agent selected.
model No Defaults to session model if absent. Explicit is always better.
tools / allowed-tools No Both spellings parse correctly. Defaults to session tools if absent (risky).
disallowed-tools No Blocks specific tools even if granted by the session.
effort No low, medium, high, xhigh, max. Overrides session effort.
context No fork runs the agent in isolated subagent context.
argument-hint No Hint shown during autocomplete.

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.

eval-agents is a skill published in the GitHub repository FlorianBruniaux/claude-code-plugins (40 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 3,497 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (unrestricted tool access). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
