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

manage-artifacts 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 8d 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.

Manage Artifacts

Configure private artifact registries, security scanning policies, and cross-region replication in Harness Artifact Registry.

Instructions

Step 1: Establish Scope

Confirm the user's org, project, and artifact format requirements.

Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "project"
  org_id: "<organization>"

Step 2: Identify the AR Task

Determine which workflow the user needs:

  1. Private Registry Setup -- Docker, Helm, Maven, npm, PyPI repositories with RBAC
  2. Security Scanning Policy -- Vulnerability scanning with CVE thresholds and license checks

Step 3: Configure Private Registry

Gather from the user:

  • Artifact formats to support (Docker, Helm, Maven, npm, PyPI)
  • Upstream proxy preferences (Docker Hub, ECR Public, GCR)
  • Image signing requirements (Cosign, Notary, none)
  • Multi-architecture support needs

Docker Registry:

  • Repository name and upstream proxy configuration
  • Image signing with Cosign or Notary v2
  • Multi-arch support (amd64 + arm64)

Helm Chart Repository:

  • Chart validation on push
  • Dependency resolution enabled

Additional Formats (Maven, npm, PyPI):

  • Separate repositories per format
  • Snapshot/release policies
  • Upstream proxies for public registries

Access Controls:

  • Read access: all developers in the org scope
  • Push access: CI/CD service accounts only (no personal credentials)
  • Admin: platform team
  • LDAP/SAML integration with identity provider

Replication:

  • Primary region with replication to secondary regions
  • Configurable sync interval (real-time, 15 minutes, hourly, daily)

Step 4: Configure Security Scanning Policies

Gather from the user:

  • Artifact types to scan
  • Security scanner (Aqua Trivy, Snyk, Grype, Prisma Cloud)
  • CVE severity thresholds (block on CRITICAL and HIGH above N)

Configure scanning policies:

  • Scan on push and periodic rescans for stored artifacts
  • Block download if critical or high CVE count exceeds thresholds
  • License compliance: block artifacts with disallowed licenses (GPL-3.0, AGPL)
  • SBOM generation: auto-generate CycloneDX or SPDX on every scan
  • Exemption workflow: security team can approve specific CVEs with expiry dates

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.
