dev-docs-guide

A guide for searching Glean's public developer documentation. Glean is a company-search platform with APIs, software libraries, and integrations that developers can use in their applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up Glean API, SDK, authentication, indexing, and MCP integration documentation, then fetch the full relevant documentation page.
Why use it?
It helps developers find implementation details for Glean instead of searching internal company content or guessing how the platform works.

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

dev-docs-guide 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.

Origin

This is a copy

What it actually says

Glean Developer Documentation Guide

When users ask about developing with Glean, use the Glean Developer Docs MCP tools.

Tools

This skill uses two tools (refer to them by their bare names):

  • docs_search — search across the public Glean developer documentation
  • docs_fetch — get the full content of a documentation page by URL

If these tools aren't visible in the active inventory, the user hasn't configured the Glean Dev Docs MCP server for this host — point them at their host's Glean Dev Docs MCP setup.

When to use

  • Glean API — endpoints, authentication, rate limits
  • SDK usage — Python, JavaScript installation and examples
  • MCP integration — server configuration, tool capabilities
  • Platform concepts — indexing, search configuration, connectors

Tool selection

Need Tool Example
Find relevant docs docs_search docs_search "API authentication"
Get implementation details docs_fetch docs_fetch "https://developers.glean.com/docs/api/auth"

Workflow

  1. Search first: docs_search "user query terms"
  2. Review results: identify the most relevant pages
  3. Fetch for details: docs_fetch "[url]" for code examples
  4. Cite sources: always include documentation URLs

Query tips

Good: "OAuth token refresh", "Python SDK search API" Less effective: "authentication", "API", "how to use"

Differentiating from enterprise Glean

This skill is for public developer documentation:

  • How to build with Glean APIs / SDKs
  • MCP configuration guides

For internal company data (Slack, email, internal docs), use the using-glean skill instead.

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.
