github-workflows-query

A script for listing GitHub Actions workflows, which are automated jobs that run tasks such as testing or deployment. It supports choosing how many results appear per page and which page to view.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query workflows for a GitHub repository with controlled pagination.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to inspect workflow lists without retrieving every result at once.

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.

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 A, and why

github-workflows-query 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (query-workflows.sh), 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.

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.

--repo Yes - Repository name
--per-page No 10 Results per page (1–100)
--page No 1 Page number

Output

Returns JSON with the following fields:

{
  "total_count": 42,
  "per_page": 10,
  "page": 1,
  "workflows": [
    {
      "id": 12345,
      "node_id": "W_...",
      "name": "CI",
      "path": ".github/workflows/ci.yml",

      "badge_url": "https://github.com/owner/repo/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg"
    }
  ]
}

Source

Calls the GitHub REST API: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows?per_page={n}&page={n}

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
