use-action-gate

use-action-gate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from joy7758/titmas-agent-action-gate. It costs 28 tokens per session (240 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A rule-based checkpoint for deciding whether an external action may proceed. It returns one of three outcomes: allow, block, or require approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before actions such as changing a repository to submit an exact request, check its evidence and policy inputs, and route the result to the appropriate operator.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from overriding a refusal, treating a chat message as approval, or acting on mismatched or expired information.

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

use-action-gate 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.

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

Use Action Gate

Inputs

  • action request;
  • policy evaluation result;
  • evidence verification result;
  • optional scoped human approval.

Output

The server-returned action-gate-decision.v0.1 receipt and a routing instruction derived only from its outcome.

Procedure

  1. Confirm all records share the exact request binding.
  2. Call evaluate_action_gate once with an idempotency key.
  3. On BLOCK, retain reasons and stop.
  4. On REQUIRE_APPROVAL, show the exact requested scope to the Human channel and stop; chat acknowledgement is not approval.
  5. On ALLOW, hand the untouched decision reference to the narrow operator.

Stop conditions

Stop on schema, digest, policy-version, signature, identity, expiry, or tuple mismatch. Never reinterpret reasons, upgrade a result, synthesize approval, or claim execution success.

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.
