Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00053 | $0.02070 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01035 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00414 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00207 |
Grade A, and why
add-connector 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 2d 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.

Add Connector (Canonical)
This is the single implementation for all connector-binding skills.
Delegation model:
- Specialized
/add-*skills (e.g.,/add-office365,/add-workiq) delegate to this skill with presets - If this skill is called from a wrapper, do not delegate back
- If this skill is called directly, complete the workflow without delegation
After the connector is added:
- If invoked via a specialized skill → Refer to that specialized skill's documentation for usage patterns (it was already provided)
- If invoked directly → Identify which specialized skill matches your use case and refer to its documentation for:
- Correct import paths for generated services
- Best practices for using the connector
- Common patterns and implementation examples
- Error handling guidance
This ensures developers have complete context for implementing features, not just adding the connector.
Workflow
- Verify workspace + auth.
- Resolve
api-id(discover viams connector listif the user didn't supply one),mode, and required arguments. - Run the matching
ms app add ...command. - Run
npm run build. - Record the binding in
memory-bank.mdif present.
Step 1: Verify Project + Env
test -f ms.config.json || { echo "Not in a Microsoft App workspace."; exit 1; }
BIN=ms
$BIN auth status
Step 2: Resolve Inputs
Collect:
api-id(required — see resolution order below). Passed to the CLI via--connector <api-id>.mode=action|table(controls the--asflag). There is noproceduremode — binding a specific SQL stored procedure is not exposed by the current CLI (see note below).connection-id(optional interactive, required for non-interactive where applicable)
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.
- 2d ago First seen · 172 lines · 53 tokens per session scan A e9ce21b8af10
add-connector is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/managed-apps (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,070 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 2026-08-31.
