malloy-source-unreachable

malloy-source-unreachable is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from malloydata/publisher. It costs 86 tokens per session (2,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting guide for data sources that are missing from discovery or rejected when queried. It explains what common 404, 403, and empty-result responses mean and what to do next.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a source is absent from context, a query reports no queryable source, or a previously working query stops working.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish an unpublished source from an access restriction or a source that exists but has no matching data.

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

malloy-source-unreachable 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 yesterday.

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

A source you cannot reach

Tool names are written bare here - get_context, execute_query, get_status, compile_model. The exact prefixed name depends on the host surface; match each against the tools you actually have.

Most packages publish a curated surface, so a source being absent or refused is usually the package working as its author intended, not a fault. Read the refusal before working around it, because the three things that can refuse you need three different responses and they are told apart by the status code.

The three answers

what you got what it means what to do
404 that says "not on this package's published surface" the name is real and the package does not publish it. It is curation, not a typo follow the fix the message names (usually: name it in the export { ... } of index.malloy and address the query there), or query what IS published
404, plain "No queryable source", "No queryable model" or "Query target is not queryable" the name does not exist, or it is hidden in a model that carries an #(authorize) or #(access_filter) gate. In a gated model the two are deliberately indistinguishable, so a refusal cannot be used to probe for hidden names check the name against get_context, then query something on the surface or ask the package's author to publish it
403, "Access denied" the source exists and is on the surface, but an #(authorize) gate did not admit you supply the givens the gate reads, or accept that this caller may not read it
200 with zero rows you were admitted, and an #(access_filter) narrowed the rows to none of them this is a real answer. Report it as "no matching rows", never as an error

A 403 names a source, so it tells you the source exists. A plain 404 tells you nothing at all. That asymmetry is deliberate: a source that is both hidden AND gated answers a plain 404, so you can never use a 403, or the wording of a 404, to discover that a hidden gated name is real.

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.
