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 | $0.00037 | $0.01279 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00512 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00256 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00128 |
Grade A, and why
bound-live-debugging 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 2mo 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.

Live Debugging a Bound Agent
Overview
Debug a running bound instance by combining direct database inspection, MCP-based agent conversations, and targeted TDD fix cycles. Core loop: probe via conversation, verify via DB, fix with TDD, restart and re-probe.
When to Use
- Bound agent exhibiting unexpected behavior
- Investigating command failures, context assembly issues, or memory gaps
- Verifying fixes end-to-end against a live instance
- Probing for undiscovered issues through open-ended agent interaction
Setup
Start bound from the data directory so config paths resolve:
cd ~/bound && bun /path/to/bound/packages/cli/src/bound.ts start 2>&1 &
Kill and restart after each code change. Bun runs TypeScript source directly.
Core Patterns
1. Conversation as Probe
Use bound_chat (Polaris MCP) to hold diagnostic conversations. The agent is itself a capable debugger — ask it to inspect its own state with query, memorize, forget, hostinfo, commands, advisory, skill-list.
2. DB as Ground Truth
bound_chat may return stale content from a previous turn (polling race). Always verify via direct DB query:
THREAD=$(sqlite3 ~/bound/data/bound.db "SELECT id FROM threads WHERE interface='mcp' ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1;")
sqlite3 ~/bound/data/bound.db "SELECT substr(content,1,1000) FROM messages WHERE thread_id='$THREAD' AND role='assistant' ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1;"
3. Schema Before Query
Always check .schema <table> before querying unfamiliar tables. Common traps: advisories.proposed_at (not created_at), tasks has no name column, turns.tokens_cache_write/tokens_cache_read (may be NULL).
4. Agent Self-Report
Ask open-ended questions about functioning. Agents notice real issues: "Event emitted: undefined" exposed a parsing bug. "purge requires --thread-id" exposed a singleton context gap. Watch for repeated analysis across conversations — signals missing cross-session memory.
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.

bound-live-debugging is a skill published in the GitHub repository karashiiro/agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Unlicense. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,279 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
