Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

guardian 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (adapters/guardian.ts), 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.

What it actually says

The Guardian

Overview

Major UK/international news outlet. Open public REST API at content.guardianapis.com for searching articles, fetching full content, and browsing section feeds.

Workflows

Search for articles on a topic

  1. searchArticles(q)id, webTitle, sectionId, webPublicationDate
  2. getArticle(ids=id) → fields.body, fields.headline, fields.byline

Browse latest news in a section

  1. getSectionFeed(section)id, webTitle, webPublicationDate
  2. getArticle(ids=id) → full article body

Research a topic across sections

  1. searchArticles(q, order-by: newest) → recent coverage
  2. getSectionFeed(section) → compare coverage across sections

Operations

Operation Intent Key Input Key Output Notes
searchArticles find articles by keyword q id, webTitle, sectionId, webPublicationDate, fields entry point, paginated
getArticle full article content ids <- searchArticles / getSectionFeed fields.body, fields.headline, fields.byline body is HTML
getSectionFeed latest in a section section id, webTitle, webPublicationDate, fields defaults to newest first

Quick Start

# Search for articles
openweb guardian exec searchArticles '{"q": "artificial intelligence"}'

# Get a specific article (use id from search results)
openweb guardian exec getArticle '{"ids": "technology/2025/dec/10/police-facial-recognition-technology-bias"}'

# Get latest technology articles
openweb guardian exec getSectionFeed '{"section": "technology"}'

# Get latest world news
openweb guardian exec getSectionFeed '{"section": "world"}'
Files

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

guardian is a skill published in the GitHub repository imoonkey/openweb (58 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 397 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
