deepagents-thread-inspector

deepagents-thread-inspector is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from langchain-ai/deepagents. It costs 82 tokens per session (686 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local conversation inspector for Deep Agents sessions stored in a SQLite database. SQLite is a file-based database, and the inspector can read saved messages and checkpoint details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify local threads, list recent sessions, inspect the latest turn, review a full transcript, or examine saved run and checkpoint metadata.
Why use it?
It lets you inspect offline or untraced conversations when online tracing is unavailable or when you need to understand a local session.

About the project

Deep Agents is an extensible agent harness that provides an out-of-the-box agent for long, multi-step tasks, with features such as planning, sub-agents, filesystem access, context management, memory, and human approval of tool calls. It is used by developers building agents with different language models, and its catalogue entries extend the harness with reusable skills, MCP servers, and instructions.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

deepagents-thread-inspector 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/inspect_sessions.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deep Agents Thread Inspector

If LangSmith tooling is available for a traced thread, prefer it. Otherwise, use scripts/inspect_sessions.py instead of manually decoding database blobs. It opens the database read-only and deserializes the root message channel with LangGraph's strict MsgPack loader — reading the materialized messages from the latest checkpoint, or replaying writes in checkpoint order when that fast path is unavailable — and emits JSON.

Inspect local state

Resolve SKILL_DIR to the directory containing this SKILL.md; do not assume a user, project, or installation-specific location. Start with the smallest useful view:

python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/inspect_sessions.py" THREAD_ID --mode latest-turn

A unique thread-ID prefix is accepted. Select another view when needed:

python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/inspect_sessions.py" THREAD_ID --mode summary
python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/inspect_sessions.py" THREAD_ID --mode transcript

Use --include-metadata only when run, repository, model, checkpoint, or LangGraph metadata matters. Use --max-content N to raise or lower the default 4,000-character limit per message, tool result, or tool-call argument.

If the user does not know the ID, list recent threads first:

python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/inspect_sessions.py" --list 20

Pass --db PATH only for a non-default session store. The default is $DEEPAGENTS_HOME/.state/sessions.db, or ~/.deepagents/.state/sessions.db when that variable is unset. DEEPAGENTS_SESSIONS_DB overrides both. The script applies the same rules dcode does, so a relative or ~user value is rejected rather than resolved to a database dcode never writes.

Explain the result

Synthesize the JSON rather than pasting it verbatim.

  • State the user's request, the assistant's conclusion, and significant tool actions or failures.
  • Distinguish stored facts from your interpretation.
  • For the latest turn, describe only the final user message and subsequent activity unless earlier context is required to make it understandable.
  • Mention truncation when a relevant record has content_truncated or args_truncated set.
  • Surface reconstruction problems when the result includes a top-level warnings array (for example, a corrupt checkpoint, a skipped write, or malformed metadata) so conclusions are appropriately hedged.
  • Do not expose unrelated credentials, tokens, personal data, or hidden reasoning that may appear in local records.

Files

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.

Changes

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.
