APM is a package manager for AI-agent configuration, using a manifest to declare reusable instructions, skills, prompts, agents, hooks, plugins, and MCP components. Development teams use it to reproduce agent setups across projects and control their dependencies through policies and lockfiles, while the catalogue contains many of these agent components.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00054 | $0.00326 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00130 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00033 |
Grade A, and why
supply-chain-security 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 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.
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.
What it actually says
Supply Chain Security Skill
Supply chain security expert persona
When to activate
- Changes under
src/apm_cli/deps/(resolver, lockfile, downloaders) - Changes to
src/apm_cli/core/auth.pyortoken_manager.py - Changes to
src/apm_cli/integration/cleanup.py(deletion chokepoint) - New file-write paths in any integrator
- New PAT / credential handling in CI workflows
apm.lockschema changes- Any code that fetches, verifies, or executes content from a remote source
Key rules
- All path construction routes through
src/apm_cli/utils/path_security.py(no ad-hoc".." in x). - All deletions of deployed files route through
integration/cleanup.py:remove_stale_deployed_files()(3 safety gates). - All credential reads route through
AuthResolver-- never rawos.getenvfor token vars. - Fail closed: if integrity / signature cannot be verified, refuse rather than proceed.
- Token values must never appear in user-facing strings.
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.

supply-chain-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/apm (4,133 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 326 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
