exploring-gdla-api-contracts

exploring-gdla-api-contracts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from greppable/greppable-cc-plugin. It costs 117 tokens per session (1,374 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for looking up endpoints, data schemas, authentication, and relationships in API contract files. An API contract is a description of how a service can be called and what data it accepts or returns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find available HTTP or GraphQL operations, required parameters, authentication methods, response data, and links between services.
Why use it?
It avoids guessing how a service works before connecting to it.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

exploring-gdla-api-contracts 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 4d 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.

GDLA Quick Reference

Available API Contracts

!bash -c 'find docs/gdl -name "*.gdla" -maxdepth 3 2>/dev/null | while read f; do echo "- $f"; done'

Format

@D service-name|description|version|base-url
@S SchemaName|description
 field|type|required|format|description
@EP METHOD /path|description|responses|auth
@P param|location|type|required|description
@AUTH scheme|description|header
@ENUM Name|value1,value2,value3
@R Source -> Target|relationship|via field
@PATH Entity -> Entity|traversal description

Endpoints and auth are single-line records. Schemas use indented field lines (like GDLS tables).

Grep Patterns

# All endpoints
grep "^@EP" contract.gdla

# Specific HTTP method
grep "^@EP GET" contract.gdla
grep "^@EP POST" contract.gdla

# GraphQL operations
grep "^@EP QUERY" contract.gdla
grep "^@EP MUTATION" contract.gdla
grep "^@EP SUBSCRIPTION" contract.gdla

# Find a schema and its fields
grep "@S Pet" -A 20 contract.gdla

# All schemas (just headers)
grep "^@S " contract.gdla

# Parameters for an endpoint
grep "^@EP GET /pets" -A 10 contract.gdla | grep "^@P"

# Authentication schemes
grep "^@AUTH" contract.gdla

# Endpoints requiring specific auth
grep "^@EP.*|bearer" contract.gdla

# Schema relationships
grep "^@R" contract.gdla

# Traversal paths
grep "^@PATH" contract.gdla

# Enums
grep "^@ENUM" contract.gdla

# Cross-file: all endpoints across all APIs
grep "^@EP" *.gdla

# Cross-file: find which APIs use bearer auth
grep "^@AUTH.*bearer" *.gdla

Combined Queries (Fewer Tool Calls)

# Full API surface (endpoints + auth)
grep -E "^@EP|^@AUTH" contract.gdla

# Schema + relationships
grep -E "^@S |^@R " contract.gdla

# All constraints (enums + required fields)
grep -E "^@ENUM|required" contract.gdla

# Endpoints that return a specific schema
grep "^@EP.*Pet" contract.gdla

# Cross-API: all endpoints and their auth across all contracts
grep -E "^@EP|^@AUTH" *.gdla

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.
