codeql

codeql is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from marduk191/qwen3_mcp. It costs 57 tokens per session (2,164 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A static-analysis system for finding security vulnerabilities in source code, including problems involving data flow across multiple functions. It can also create analysis databases and support custom queries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for security audits, taint and data-flow analysis, custom CodeQL queries, and automated security checks in development pipelines.
Why use it?
It can trace risky input from where it enters an application to where it reaches a dangerous operation, even across several files or functions. This can reveal issues that simple text searches miss.

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

codeql 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 4d 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.

CodeQL Static Analysis

When to Use CodeQL

Ideal scenarios:

  • Source code access with ability to build (for compiled languages)
  • Open-source projects or GitHub Advanced Security license
  • Need for interprocedural data flow and taint tracking
  • Finding complex vulnerabilities requiring AST/CFG analysis
  • Comprehensive security audits where analysis time is not critical

Consider Semgrep instead when:

  • No build capability for compiled languages
  • Licensing constraints
  • Need fast, lightweight pattern matching
  • Simple, single-file analysis is sufficient

Why Interprocedural Analysis Matters

Simple grep/pattern tools only see one function at a time. Real vulnerabilities often span multiple functions:

HTTP Handler → Input Parser → Business Logic → Database Query
     ↓              ↓              ↓              ↓
   source      transforms       passes       sink (SQL)

CodeQL tracks data flow across all these steps. A tainted input in the handler can be traced through 5+ function calls to find where it reaches a dangerous sink.

Pattern-based tools miss this because they can't connect request.param in file A to db.execute(query) in file B.

When NOT to Use

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • Projects that cannot be built (CodeQL requires successful compilation for compiled languages)
  • Quick pattern searches (use Semgrep or grep for speed)
  • Non-security code quality checks (use linters instead)
  • Projects without source code access

Environment Check

# Check if CodeQL is installed
command -v codeql >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "CodeQL: installed" || echo "CodeQL: NOT installed (run install steps below)"

Installation

CodeQL CLI

# macOS/Linux (Homebrew)
brew install --cask codeql

# Update
brew upgrade codeql

Manual: Download bundle from https://github.com/github/codeql-action/releases

Trail of Bits Queries (Optional)

Install public ToB security queries for additional coverage:

# Download ToB query packs
codeql pack download trailofbits/cpp-queries trailofbits/go-queries

# Verify installation
codeql resolve qlpacks | grep trailofbits

codeql is a skill published in the GitHub repository marduk191/qwen3_mcp (12 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 2,164 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
