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 | $0.00127 | $0.01117 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00063 | $0.00558 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00223 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00112 |
Grade A, and why
archivebox-web-archiving 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 7d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- Choose which extractors run (e.g. `wget,screenshot,pdf,singlefile,dom`). How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ArchiveBox Web Archiving
Domain-typed access to ArchiveBox's CLI actions (add / update / schedule)
for capturing and re-capturing web pages into durable, self-hosted snapshots.
When to use
- Archive one URL or a batch of URLs (optionally with tags + a crawl
depth). - Choose which extractors run (e.g.
wget,screenshot,pdf,singlefile,dom). - Re-archive / refresh existing snapshots (
update,only_new,overwrite). - Set up a recurring archive job (
schedule).
When NOT to use
- Reading / searching / listing what is already archived →
archivebox-snapshot-search. - Ingesting snapshots + results into the epistemic-graph KG →
archivebox-kg-ingestion. - Deleting snapshots — use the
cli_removeaction directly (destructive; not part of this capture-oriented skill).
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
whose keys are passed straight to the client method.
| Condensed tool | Actions |
|---|---|
archivebox_cli |
cli_add, cli_update, cli_schedule |
Key parameters
urls— list of strings to archive (cli_add).tag— comma-separated tags to apply.depth— crawl depth (0= just the URL,1= also linked pages).extractors— comma-separated extractor list; empty = the instance default set.update/update_all/overwrite— re-archive controls.only_new,after,before,status,filter_patterns— scope forcli_update.
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-web-archiving is a skill published in the GitHub repository Knuckles-Team/archivebox-api (1 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 127 tokens to every session and 1,117 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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.

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.

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…

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…
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…
