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 | $0.00117 | $0.01334 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00047 | $0.00534 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00267 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00133 |
Grade A, and why
ferris-search-tools 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 2mo 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.

Key Patterns
Single-engine search

}
Multi-engine fan-out
{
"tool": "web_search",
"query": "rust async runtime",
"engines": ["bing", "duckduckgo", "brave"],
"limit": 5
}
GitHub repository search
{
"tool": "web_search",
"query": "tokio async runtime stars:>1000",
"engines": ["github"],
"limit": 10
}
GitHub code search
{
"tool": "web_search",
"query": "reqwest Client language:rust",
"engines": ["github_code"],
"limit": 10
}
Fetch any web page
{
"tool": "fetch_web_content",

"max_chars": 50000
}
Fetch GitHub README
{
"tool": "fetch_github_readme",

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.

ferris-search-tools is a skill published in the GitHub repository lispking/ferris-search (61 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 117 tokens to every session and 1,334 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
