These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill accesses MCP server configuration files (mcp.json). MCP configs contain server URLs, authentication tokens, and tool definitions — reading them allows the skill to discover and potentially abuse other tool integrations.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that read MCP configuration files (mcp.json). MCP server details should be managed by the agent runtime, not read by individual skills.

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

notion 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Notion CLI

A CLI to manage Notion from the command line, using Notion's remote MCP server.

Prerequisites

The notion-cli command must be available on PATH. To check:

notion-cli version

If not installed:

go install github.com/lox/notion-cli@latest

Or see: https://github.com/lox/notion-cli

Authentication

The CLI uses OAuth authentication for MCP-backed commands. On first use, it opens a browser for authorization:

notion-cli auth login      # Authenticate with Notion
notion-cli auth status     # Show active profile and OAuth state (diagnostic)
notion-cli auth refresh    # Force-refresh; commands auto-refresh on use, so rarely needed
notion-cli auth logout     # Clear credentials

For CI/headless environments, set NOTION_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable.

Some fallback features also use the official Notion API:

notion-cli auth api setup
notion-cli auth api status
notion-cli auth api verify
notion-cli auth api unset

For CI/headless environments, set NOTION_API_TOKEN.

Multiple accounts

Every command accepts --profile <name> (or NOTION_CLI_PROFILE) to target a specific Notion account. Named profiles keep credentials isolated under ~/.config/notion-cli/profiles/<profile>/; the implicit default profile uses the existing top-level paths.

notion-cli auth login --profile work
notion-cli page list --profile work
export NOTION_CLI_PROFILE=work  # pin for the shell session
notion-cli auth use work         # make work the default profile

Resolution precedence: --profile > NOTION_CLI_PROFILE > notion-cli auth use <name> > implicit default profile.

Available Commands

notion-cli auth            # Manage authentication
notion-cli page            # Manage pages (list, view, create, upload, edit)
notion-cli db              # Manage databases (list, query, create entries)
notion-cli search          # Search the workspace
notion-cli comment         # Manage comments (list, create)
notion-cli tools           # List available MCP tools

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.
