About the project

AWorld is an agent harness, meaning a framework that coordinates an AI agent’s tools, memory, context, and execution so expert knowledge can be turned into reusable skills and autonomous agents. It is for building domain-specific agent applications and workflows, with the catalogue entries representing skills, agents, and commands that operate within the AWorld ecosystem.

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

filex 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/filex.py), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use FileX

Use the bundled wrapper for FileX inspect, parse, and status. It validates workspace paths, resolves supported URL sources, keeps credentials out of command-line arguments, preserves FileX JSON fields, and returns output_path for synchronous parsing.

Parse a local file

Confirm the file is under the sandbox workspace, normally /root/workspace, then run:

python3 /skills/filex/scripts/filex.py parse \
  --input /root/workspace/input.docx \
  --output /root/workspace/input.md

FileX supports:

  • Documents: PDF, TXT, Markdown, DOC/DOCX, PPT/PPTX.
  • Tables: CSV, XLS/XLSX.
  • Images: PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP.
  • Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, OPUS.
  • Video: MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, M4V, MPEG, MPG.

Omit --output to keep FileX's generated Markdown path. Use --file-type only when extension or content detection is insufficient. Parse stdout as JSON and continue only when success is true.

Select a provider

Use --provider when the provider needs no credentials on the command line:

python3 /skills/filex/scripts/filex.py parse \
  --input /root/workspace/report.pdf \
  --provider liteparse

Available providers depend on the file type and image configuration. They include Paddle OCR, LiteParse, PyPDF+VLM, native Office/text/table providers, image VLM, and local Whisper. Let FileX select the default unless the task requires a specific capability.

For provider credentials or complex configuration, create a protected JSON file in the workspace and pass --env-file. Put filex_parse_provider in that file when selecting a provider. Do not combine --provider with --env-file.

Parse a URL

Pass an HTTP(S) URL directly. FileX downloads it into a bounded workspace cache before parsing:

python3 /skills/filex/scripts/filex.py parse \
  --url https://example.com/report.pdf \
  --file-type pdf

The default maximum download is 512 MiB and the default timeout is 120 seconds. Operators may adjust FILEX_MAX_DOWNLOAD_BYTES and FILEX_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT_SECONDS on the container.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
