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 | $0.00019 | $0.00373 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00187 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00075 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00037 |
Grade A, and why
dependency-manager 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 yesterday.
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
Proceed with these steps to ensure isolated execution while bypassing full installer locks.
Instructions:
- Locate and Read Dependency Files:
- Use an MCP read_file tool to locate and read the closest dependency manifest files walking up from the
targetFilecoordinate. - TypeScript/Node.js: Grab
package.jsonandpackage-lock.json. - Python: Grab
requirements.txtorPipfile.lock. - C++: Check for
conanfile.txtorCMakeLists.txt. - Go: Grab
go.modandgo.sum. - Java: Grab
pom.xml(Maven) orbuild.gradle/build.gradle.kts(Gradle).
- Use an MCP read_file tool to locate and read the closest dependency manifest files walking up from the
- Extract Version Constraints:
- Read the manifest files to find the exact version constraints for packages used in the PoC/verification code.
- Bypass Full Installs (Node.js):
- Instruct commands to utilize prefixes like
npm_config_cache=.npx_cacheso downloads bypass global proxy auth locks.
- Instruct commands to utilize prefixes like
- Write Deterministic Running Script:
- Generate a standalone dependency runner file on disk named deterministically e.g.,
install_deps_<target_file_base>.sh(or.js/.py).
- Generate a standalone dependency runner file on disk named deterministically e.g.,
- Trigger Isolated Execute:
- Call the
install_dependenciesTool passing the absolute path to the generated script in thescriptPathargument AND providingtargetFileas an argument to let the tool calculate isolated execution contexts.
- Call the
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.

dependency-manager is a skill published in the GitHub repository gemini-cli-extensions/security (790 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 373 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 2026-08-30.
