glean-api-client

glean-api-client is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gleanwork/configure-agents. It costs 66 tokens per session (657 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A typed TypeScript software kit for calling Glean's web API, including search, chat, document retrieval, indexing, and administration. TypeScript is a programming language that adds type checks to JavaScript.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in TypeScript or JavaScript projects that import the Glean client or call Glean's search, assistant, document, indexing, or administration endpoints.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when writing code that talks to Glean by providing generated type definitions for requests and responses.

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

glean-api-client 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

@gleanwork/api-client-typescript

The official TypeScript SDK for the Glean API. It is generated from Glean's OpenAPI spec, so it is fully typed and the types are the source of truth.

This file is a worked example for the authoring rubric. It demonstrates the pattern — point at the generated types, then carry only judgment — not a maintained skill.

When to use

Load this skill when writing TypeScript or JavaScript that calls the Glean API — search, chat/assistant, document retrieval, indexing, or admin endpoints — or whenever @gleanwork/api-client-typescript appears in the code.

Install & import

npm install @gleanwork/api-client-typescript
import { Glean } from '@gleanwork/api-client-typescript';

Authoritative API

The API surface is generated and fully typed. Read the bundled type definitions for exact method names, parameters, request/response shapes, and enums — do not guess them:

  • the .d.ts files referenced by the types/exports field in node_modules/@gleanwork/api-client-typescript/package.json (under dist/).

Operations hang off the client instance; the exact namespaces and signatures live in the types. Let editor autocomplete and the .d.ts drive the call shape rather than memorized examples.

Usage patterns

  • Construct once, reuse. Create a single Glean client configured with your API token and instance / server URL, and pass it around. Don't build one per request.
  • Authentication. Supply the API token and the Glean instance (or full server URL) at construction. Read the constructor's options type for the exact field names.
  • Pagination. List endpoints are cursor-based: pass the cursor from the previous response on the next call and stop when none is returned. Don't assume offset paging.
  • Errors. Failures throw typed errors. Catch them and inspect the typed fields instead of parsing message strings.

Common mistakes

  • Guessing method names or parameter shapes. They are generated — read the .d.ts. Hallucinated method names are the most common failure.
  • Scattering the instance / server URL across the codebase instead of centralizing it in client construction.
  • Ignoring pagination cursors and treating the first page as the full result set.
  • Catch-and-stringify error handling instead of using the typed error fields.
