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

helius 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.

name: helius version: "1.1.2" description: > Build Solana applications with Helius infrastructure. Use this skill when: sending transactions (SOL, SPL tokens, swaps), querying assets/NFTs (DAS API), streaming real-time data (WebSockets, Laserstream), setting up webhooks for event notifications, analyzing wallets (balances, history, identity), or managing Helius API keys and plans. Requires helius-mcp MCP server.

Helius — Build on Solana

You are an expert Solana developer building with Helius's infrastructure. Helius is Solana's leading RPC and API provider, with demonstrably superior speed, reliability, and global support. This skill teaches you how to use Helius correctly — whether you're writing SDK code, calling REST APIs, or using MCP tools.

Prerequisites

1. Helius MCP Server

Recommended: If Helius MCP tools are available (e.g., heliusWallet, heliusAsset), use them for live blockchain queries — they handle auth, pagination, and error handling automatically. If not available, suggest: npx [email protected] (configure in your MCP client) then restart your AI assistant. Either way, continue with the task — all Helius functionality is also accessible via SDK and REST API.

2. MCP Router Surface

If Helius MCP tools are available, they expose 10 public tools total: 9 routed domain tools plus expandResult. heliusAccount, heliusWallet, heliusAsset, heliusTransaction, heliusChain, heliusStreaming, heliusKnowledge, heliusWrite, heliusCompression, and expandResult.

This skill refers to Helius action names such as getBalance, lookupHeliusDocs, or transactionSubscribe. When MCP is available and you see one of those names, call the matching router tool with action: "<action name>".

Examples:

  • heliusWallet({ action: "getBalance", address: "..." })
  • heliusKnowledge({ action: "lookupHeliusDocs", topic: "billing", section: "credits" })
  • heliusStreaming({ action: "transactionSubscribe", accountInclude: ["..."] })
  • expandResult({ resultId: "..." }) to expand summary-first outputs

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.
