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 | $0.00054 | $0.02374 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.01187 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00475 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00237 |
Grade A, and why
shodan-asset-monitor 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 11d 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.

Shodan Asset Monitoring Skill
Continuously monitor organizational assets, detect changes, and manage attack surface using Shodan's historical data capabilities.
When to Use
- Continuous security monitoring
- Attack surface management
- Change detection and alerting
- Shadow IT discovery
- Compliance verification
- Security posture tracking
Workflow
1. Initial Baseline
Establish Asset Inventory
1. Use shodan_host_search with org/domain filters
2. Document all discovered assets
3. Categorize by criticality and function
4. Create baseline snapshot
Baseline Query Examples:
org:"Example Corp"
hostname:*.example.com
net:192.168.0.0/16
ssl:"example.com"
2. Regular Monitoring
Daily/Weekly Checks
- Re-run baseline queries
- Compare results with baseline
- Identify new assets
- Detect removed assets
- Track service changes
Change Detection Queries:
# New web servers
org:"Example Corp" port:80,443 after:YYYY-MM-DD
# New SSH endpoints
org:"Example Corp" port:22 after:YYYY-MM-DD
# New databases
org:"Example Corp" product:mongodb,mysql,postgresql after:YYYY-MM-DD
3. Historical Analysis
Use shodan_host_info with history: true to:
- Track host lifecycle
- Identify service migrations
- Detect configuration changes
- Analyze vulnerability windows
4. Alerting Triggers
Monitor for:
- New Assets: Unauthorized or shadow IT
- Service Changes: New ports or protocols
- Version Changes: Upgrades or downgrades
- Certificate Changes: SSL/TLS modifications
- Vulnerability Exposure: New CVEs detected
- Geolocation Changes: Asset migration
- Expired Certificates: Security risks
5. Reporting and Trending
Generate periodic reports on:
- Asset count trends
- Service distribution
- Vulnerability trends
- Attack surface growth/reduction
- Compliance status
Monitoring Queries
New Asset Discovery
# Assets added in last 30 days
org:"Example Corp" after:YYYY-MM-DD
# New subdomains
hostname:*.example.com after:YYYY-MM-DD
# New IP ranges
net:192.168.0.0/24 after:YYYY-MM-DD
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.

shodan-asset-monitor is a skill published in the GitHub repository GangGreenTemperTatum/shodan-mcp-server (0 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 2,374 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
