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 | $0.00045 | $0.01342 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00671 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00268 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
konnect-app-auth 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 11d 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 — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Konnect application auth workflow
Goal
Help an operator configure or troubleshoot how developers register applications, receive credentials, and use APIs through Konnect Dev Portal and Konnect Application Auth.
Own the application-auth branch only: strategy choice, application registration, approvals, credentials, and the publication-to-enforcement path. Do not keep Portal sign-in, SSO, or generic API publication diagnosis in this skill after the surface is classified.
Tool Selection
- Use the shared
kong-konnectMCP server first for live inspection of portals, publications, application auth strategies, applications, registrations, and related approvals. - Preserve the repository's chosen declarative toolchain when auth resources
need to change: use
terraform-konnectfor HCL-managed resources andkongctl-declarativeonly when the surrounding repo already useskongctlfor this Konnect workflow. - Use
deck-gatewayonly when the real change is downstream Gateway-entity config rather than Portal app-auth configuration. - If live Konnect state matters and
kong-konnectMCP is not connected, say so early and continue with user-provided artifacts or repo context. - If the primary issue is developer sign-in, SSO, or broad org/team access, classify that early and stop instead of debugging app credentials here.
References To Load
Load only the reference file that matches the active branch:
references/auth-strategy-selection.md- Load when choosing between key auth, self-managed OIDC, and DCR is the main decision.
references/registration-and-approval-flows.md- Load when the strategy is plausible but self-service, approvals, or registration state still block developers.
references/linked-service-and-enforcement.md- Load when the hard question is whether auth can actually be enforced on the linked Gateway Service path.
Inspection Order

What ships with it
3 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.
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.

konnect-app-auth is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kong/ai-marketplace (5 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,342 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
