These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

whatsapp-openapi-skill 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

WhatsApp Cloud API Skill

Use this skill to run WhatsApp Business Platform Cloud API operations through uxc + OpenAPI.

Reuse the uxc skill for shared execution, auth, and error-handling guidance.

Prerequisites

  • uxc is installed and available in PATH.
  • Network access to https://graph.facebook.com/v25.0.
  • Access to the curated OpenAPI schema URL:
    • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/whatsapp-openapi-skill/references/whatsapp-cloud.openapi.json
  • A Meta app and WhatsApp Business account with Cloud API access.
  • A valid system-user or app access token that can call the target WhatsApp assets.
  • At least one phone_number_id, and for phone number listing, the related waba_id.

Scope

This skill covers a compact Cloud API request/response surface:

  • phone number listing
  • phone number metadata reads
  • business profile reads and updates
  • outbound message sends

This skill does not cover:

  • inbound webhook receiver runtime
  • template lifecycle management
  • embedded signup or broader business onboarding flows
  • media upload/download lifecycle
  • the full WhatsApp Business Platform surface

API Version

This skill is pinned to Graph API v25.0, based on current Meta developer examples at implementation time. Keep the base URL versioned:

  • https://graph.facebook.com/v25.0

If Meta deprecates this version later, the wrapper should be revised in a follow-up update rather than assuming unversioned compatibility.

Authentication

WhatsApp Cloud API uses Authorization: Bearer <access_token>.

Configure one bearer credential and bind it to the versioned Graph API base path:

uxc auth credential set whatsapp-cloud \
  --auth-type bearer \
  --secret-env WHATSAPP_CLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN

uxc auth binding add \
  --id whatsapp-cloud \
  --host graph.facebook.com \
  --path-prefix /v25.0 \
  --scheme https \
  --credential whatsapp-cloud \
  --priority 100

Validate the active mapping when auth looks wrong:

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.
