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

Zendesk 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Zendesk

Manage Zendesk tickets, users, and support workflows through the authenticated Zendesk API.

When to Use

  • search tickets or support history
  • create or update tickets
  • inspect user details
  • export queue data for analysis
  • summarize current support state

Setup

Use these environment variables:

  • ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN
  • ZENDESK_EMAIL
  • ZENDESK_TOKEN

Build the Zendesk auth context from those variables and confirm access before trying ticket operations.

Workflow Rules

  1. Search before creating a ticket to avoid duplicates.
  2. Use views or targeted search instead of listing entire queues.
  3. Add internal notes when changing status or ownership.
  4. Confirm destructive or customer-visible actions before sending them.
  5. Respect Zendesk rate limits during bulk work.

Common Operations

  • Search tickets by status, priority, assignee, or subject before creating a new one.
  • Create tickets with a clear subject, customer-visible comment, and correct priority.
  • Update status with an internal note that explains what changed and why.
  • Look up users by email before editing ownership, organization, or requester fields.
  • Export queue data only when the user explicitly asked for a saved report.

Safety Boundaries

  • Do not read credentials from ad hoc files, memory stores, or chat history; use only the documented environment variables.
  • Do not close, merge, delete, or publicly reply to tickets without explicit confirmation.
  • Do not export ticket or user data to files unless the user asked for a saved artifact.
  • Do not send Zendesk data to any service other than the authenticated Zendesk API.
Files

What ships with it

6 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.
