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 C, and why

make-a365-agent scanned grade C with 2 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 1mo 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.

Make A365 Agent

Trigger phrases — any of these will activate this skill:

  • "provision this agent with agent 365"
  • "register this agent"
  • "make this agent findable in the Agent 365 catalog"
  • "Registration setup for this agent"
  • "make this a custom engine agent"
  • "run a365 setup all"
  • "create a365 blueprint for this agent"
  • "set up this agent for observability only"

What this skill does: Provisions your agent with Agent 365 — creates the Blueprint and Entra ID permissions. After setup, always offers observability (instrument-observability) and WorkIQ tools (add-workiq-tools) as optional add-ons.

This skill is normally called from a365-setup after CLI verification and Azure prerequisites are confirmed. It can also be invoked directly when those steps are done.


YOUR FIRST ACTION: Load context (Phase 0), then create all todos before running anything.


Phase 0 — Load Context

Show the user a visible task checklist BEFORE Phase 1 work begins. This skill has no per-phase TaskCreate calls in the body — derive the checklist from the phase headers (## Phase 0 — Load Context, ## Phase 1 — Collect Provisioning Inputs, ## Phase 2 — Register with Agent 365, etc.). Exactly one item in_progress at a time; complete before moving on.

  • Claude Code: call TaskCreate once per phase header (already in allowed-tools); the list renders natively. Use TaskUpdate to flip statuses.
  • VS Code Copilot Chat / GitHub Copilot CLI: allowed-tools is ignored — emit a markdown checklist directly in chat (- [ ] Load context…, - [ ] Collect provisioning inputs…, etc.) and edit items to - [x] as each phase completes.

Check for context passed from a365-setup. If this skill was invoked by a365-setup, the session already has capabilities, agentStack, programmingLanguage, and usesTeamsOrCopilot set. Load those values directly.

If invoked directly (no session context):

  1. Read .a365-workspace-detection.local.json if it exists and detectedAt is within 60 minutes. Load agentStack, programmingLanguage, and usesTeamsOrCopilot from 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.
