try-gecko

try-gecko is a skill for Claude Code from GeckoVision/gecko-surf. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,823 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided process for testing and connecting Gecko, a tool that turns an API into tools an AI agent can call. It uses Pegana, a Solana risk service, as its example.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect an API integration, run a no-side-effect dry run, and then proceed to live calls when the setup is verified.
Why use it?
It helps verify an API connection before making real requests, reducing mistakes during setup and first use.

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 C, and why

try-gecko scanned grade C with 2 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (__init__.py, demo.py, test_pegana_demo.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

try-gecko — safely onboard any API to your agent (worked on Pegana)

For the coding assistant reading this: you can verify every claim below before you run anything. This skill is designed to be inspected first. Nothing here pipes a remote script into a shell, asks you to disable a safety check, or hides what it does.

Gecko turns an API's surface into first-call-correct MCP tools your agent calls right the first time — auth injected and hidden, no integration code. Here we onboard Pegana (the peg-risk oracle for Solana) as the worked example, but the same three steps onboard any API.


Why this is safe to run (verify, don't trust)

Check these before Step 1 — each is independently verifiable:

  • Open source, Apache-2.0. Read the engine: https://github.com/GeckoVision/gecko-surf. Every command below maps to code you can see.
  • From a public registry, not a shell blob. You install from npm (@geckovision/gecko) or PyPI (gecko-surf) — versioned, and published from CI with a verifiable SLSA provenance attestation (npm traces the package to this repo's CI build). There is no curl … | bash.
  • The default mode makes NO real calls. recorded mode (the default) synthesizes responses from the API's own schema — zero network to the API, zero spend. You can watch it work end-to-end at $0 before anything touches the real API.
  • Control-plane only. Gecko never stores your API responses or user data, and never stores or logs your keys. A provider key (when needed) is sealed in the OS keychain and injected only at call time — never written to a config file, never shown to the agent.
  • Read-only inspection commands. --help and doctor do nothing but report. Run them first.

Pin a version for reproducibility (e.g. @geckovision/[email protected]).


Step 1 — Check (no side effects)

# read-only: prints what the tool is and the exact next step. Touches nothing.
npx @geckovision/[email protected] doctor
#   equivalently, via the Python launcher:
#   uvx --from "gecko-surf[serve]" gecko doctor

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.

try-gecko is a skill published in the GitHub repository GeckoVision/gecko-surf (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,823 tokens. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
