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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00040 | $0.00429 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00215 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00086 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00043 |
Grade A, and why
portal 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.
What it actually says
Portal
Manage the Kurtosis Portal daemon for remote context access.
What is Portal?
Kurtosis Portal is a lightweight local daemon that enables communication with Kurtosis enclaves running on a remote Kurtosis server. It's only needed when using remote contexts — not required for local Docker or direct Kubernetes access.
Start
kurtosis portal start
Check status
kurtosis portal status
Stop
kurtosis portal stop
When you need it
Portal is used with remote Kurtosis contexts. If you're using:
- Local Docker: No portal needed
- Direct Kubernetes: Use
kurtosis gatewayinstead - Remote Kurtosis server: Use portal + remote context
Remote contexts
# List contexts
kurtosis context ls
# Add a remote context
kurtosis context add <context-name>
# Switch to remote context
kurtosis context set <context-name>
# Start portal for the remote context
kurtosis portal start
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Portal won't start | Port conflict or stale process | Run kurtosis portal stop then kurtosis portal start |
| Status shows not running | Portal crashed or was killed | Restart with kurtosis portal start |
| Services unreachable via portal | Portal not started for current context | Run kurtosis portal status to check, then kurtosis portal start |
| Connection refused errors | Wrong context or portal not needed | Verify context with kurtosis context ls — local Docker doesn't need portal |
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.

portal is a skill published in the GitHub repository kurtosis-tech/kurtosis (551 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 429 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 2026-08-30.
