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.

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 | $0.00121 | $0.04014 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00048 | $0.01606 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00803 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00401 |
Grade A, and why
wow-api-lua-environment 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 1mo 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.

Lua Environment & Security (Retail — Patch 12.0.0)
Comprehensive reference for the WoW Lua sandbox, security model, taint system, secure execution, timers, hooks, logging, and restricted actions.
Source: https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/World_of_Warcraft_API Secure Execution: https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Secure_Execution_and_Tainting Lua Functions: https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Lua_functions Current as of: Patch 12.0.0 (Build 65655) — January 28, 2026 Scope: Retail only.
Scope
This skill covers:
- Lua Sandbox — WoW's Lua 5.1 environment, restricted standard library, blocked functions
- Taint System — How addon code becomes tainted and what tainted code cannot do
- Secure Execution — Protected functions, secure frames, secure handlers
- Combat Lockdown — What addons can and cannot do during combat
- C_Timer — Timer functions (After, NewTicker, NewTimer)
- Hooks — hooksecurefunc, securecallfunction, securecallmethod
- C_RestrictedActions — Addon restriction state queries
- C_Log — Logging utilities
- FrameScript — Frame script environment, secret values, scrubbing
- Debugging — Error handling, stack traces, debugging utilities
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- Understand what Lua functions are available vs blocked in WoW
- Work with or debug taint issues
- Write code that interacts with secure/protected frames
- Use timers, delayed execution, or ticker patterns
- Hook existing functions safely
- Understand combat lockdown restrictions
- Handle addon restriction states (12.0.0 instance restrictions)
- Log messages for debugging
- Work with secret values and the FrameScript sandbox

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.

wow-api-lua-environment is a skill published in the GitHub repository JBurlison/WoWAddonAPIAgents (46 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 4,014 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
