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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00050 | $0.01999 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00025 | $0.01000 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00400 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00200 |
Grade A, and why
tavily scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
Provide a curl-based interface to Tavily’s REST API for web search, extraction, mapping, crawling, and optional research. Return structured results suitable for LLM workflows and multi-step investigations. How it starts

Tavily
Purpose
Provide a curl-based interface to Tavily’s REST API for web search, extraction, mapping, crawling, and optional research. Return structured results suitable for LLM workflows and multi-step investigations.
When to Use
- Use when a task needs live web information, site extraction, mapping, or crawling.
- Use when web searches are needed and no built-in tool is available, or when Tavily’s LLM-friendly output (summaries, chunks, sources, citations) is beneficial.
- Use when a task requires structured search results, extraction, or site discovery from Tavily.
Required Environment
- Require
TAVILY_API_KEYin the environment. - If
TAVILY_API_KEYis missing, prompt the user to provide the API key before proceeding.
Base URL and Auth
- Base URL:
https://api.tavily.com - Authentication:
Authorization: Bearer $TAVILY_API_KEY - Content type:
Content-Type: application/json - Optional project tracking: add
X-Project-ID: <project-id>if project attribution is needed.
Tool Mapping (Tavily REST)
1) search → POST /search
Use for web search with optional answer and content extraction.
Recommended minimal request:

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.
