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 | $0.00128 | $0.01096 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00064 | $0.00548 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00219 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00110 |
Grade A, and why
archivebox-snapshot-search 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ArchiveBox Snapshot Search
Domain-typed read access to an ArchiveBox archive: snapshots, their per-extractor archive results, and tags. Prefer these over raw HTTP — they return archive-shaped records.
When to use
- Find / filter snapshots by
search,url,tag,title, or date window. - Read one snapshot by
snapshot_id(id or abid), optionally with archive results. - List
ArchiveResults filtered byextractor,status,snapshot_url, etc. - Read tags, or resolve any object (snapshot/result/tag) by its
abid.
When NOT to use
- Adding, updating, or scheduling captures →
archivebox-web-archiving. - Loading snapshots/results into the epistemic-graph KG →
archivebox-kg-ingestion.
Prerequisites & environment
Connect via the mcp-client skill against the archivebox-api MCP server.
| Variable | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
ARCHIVEBOX_BASE_URL |
✅ | Instance URL (alias ARCHIVEBOX_URL) |
ARCHIVEBOX_TOKEN |
one of | Bearer API token (alias ARCHIVEBOX_API_KEY) |
ARCHIVEBOX_USERNAME / ARCHIVEBOX_PASSWORD |
one of | Basic-auth → token exchange |
ARCHIVEBOX_SSL_VERIFY |
optional | TLS verification toggle (default off) |
MCP_TOOL_MODE (condensed|verbose|both) selects the condensed surface (used
below) vs. the one-to-one verbose tools.
Tools & actions
Prefer the condensed tool; it takes action + a params_json JSON string.
| Condensed tool | Actions |
|---|---|
archivebox_core |
get_snapshots, get_snapshot, get_archiveresults, get_tag, get_any |
archivebox_cli |
cli_list (JSON/CSV export of the index) |

What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

archivebox-snapshot-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository Knuckles-Team/archivebox-api (1 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 128 tokens to every session and 1,096 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.

searxng-web-search
Privacy-respecting web metasearch via the searxng-mcp MCP server. Use when the agent needs current, open-web results for a query and must NOT leak the query to a single tracking engine — SearXNG aggregates many engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, …) behind one JSON tool. Use for general lookups…
searxng-settings-editor
Inspect and edit the EMBEDDED SearXNG instance's settings.yml (the private, loopback-only, zero-config search fallback the searxng-mcp server can own end to end when no external SEARXNGURL is configured). Use when the agent or operator wants to change what the embedded instance does — enable/ disable formats, flip…

Database, collection, and user administration on a DocumentDB (MongoDB-compatible, PostgreSQL-backed) server via the documentdb-mcp MCP server — list/create/drop/rename databases and collections, and manage database users and their roles. Use when the agent must provision or tear down namespaces, enumerate the…

Document create/read/update/delete operations on a DocumentDB (MongoDB-compatible, PostgreSQL-backed) collection via the documentdb-mcp MCP server — insert one/many, find with filter/sort/skip/limit, update/replace one/many, delete, count, and the atomic find-and-modify variants. Use when the agent must read or mutate…
searxng-kg-ingestion
Persist SearXNG search results into the epistemic-graph knowledge graph via the searxng-mcp MCP server. Use when the agent must turn a web search into durable, semantically-searchable KG memory — each result becomes a :Document (plus :SearchQuery and :SearchEngine typed nodes with :resultOf / :fromEngine links) so…
searxng-news-research
Time-sensitive news and topic monitoring via the searxng-mcp MCP server. Use when the agent must gather what multiple news/social engines are currently reporting on a topic — breaking events, product/security announcements, or ongoing coverage — by scoping websearch to the news/socialmedia categories and paging for…
