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 | $0.00018 | $0.00305 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00152 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00061 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
consul 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
Consul
HashiCorp Consul is a multi-cloud service networking platform. It handles Service Discovery, Mesh, and Key/Value storage. 2025 v1.18 focuses on Enterprise reliability.
When to Use
- Service Discovery: Tracking dynamic IPs of microservices (common in Nomad/VM setups).
- Service Mesh: mTLS and Traffic split across VMs and K8s.
- KV Store: Storing dynamic configuration distributed across regions.
Core Concepts
Agent
Runs on every node (client mode) or dedicated servers (server mode). Handles health checks.
Service Definition
Register services via Config file or API.
{"service": {"name": "web", "port": 80}}
Connect (Mesh)
Uses Envoy to secure traffic between services.
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use DNS Interface: Apps can find DBs via
db.service.consul. - Use Template:
consul-templaterenders config files from KV data and reloads apps automatically. - Separate Data Centers: Federation allows global service discovery.
Don't:
- Don't expose API publicly: Consul has no default auth in dev mode. Lock it down.

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.

consul is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 305 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
