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 5.1 | $0.00080 | $0.00232 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00040 | $0.00116 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00046 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
shortcuts-cli 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 9d 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
Shortcuts (deprecated)
This skill has been folded into the Switchboard plugin. The shortcuts-mcp plugin is on track for retirement once the absorb is verified end-to-end.
For anything Shortcuts-related — running, listing, viewing, discovering, or
recording purpose annotations — use the switchboard-usage skill. The same
tool names (run_shortcut, view_shortcut, shortcuts_usage) are now
exposed by the switchboard MCP server, and the CLI fallback is
switchboard shortcuts <run|list|view>.
Signing .shortcut files (shortcuts sign) is still done with Apple's
system CLI — switchboard doesn't wrap that yet.
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.

shortcuts-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository foxtrottwist/shortcuts-mcp (11 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 232 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
