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 | $0.00012 | $0.00380 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00190 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00076 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
typeagent-setup 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.
What it actually says
TypeAgent Setup
Configure the TypeAgent integration for Copilot CLI.
Current Configuration
Read the config file at ${PLUGIN_DATA}/config.json (create if it doesn't exist).
Options
Ask the user which integration mode they'd like:
- direct (default) - Hook handles requests directly, bypassing the LLM. Fastest response time (~2-3s) but no streaming.
- mcp - Hook redirects to MCP tool, allowing the LLM to call TypeAgent. Adds ~1-2s for LLM overhead but enables streaming and LLM formatting.
- dev - Hook tries registered PowerShell development actions first and lets Copilot handle misses.
- bypass - Disable TypeAgent routing and reject TypeAgent MCP calls.
The typeagent-workspace read/glob/grep/fetch tools are available in direct,
mcp, and dev modes. They do not require a separate macro mode.
Also ask for:
- TypeAgent host (default: localhost) - The host where the TypeAgent agent-server is running
- TypeAgent port (default: 8999) - The port for the agent-server
Save Configuration
Write the configuration to ${PLUGIN_DATA}/config.json:
{
"mode": "direct",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 8999
}
Tell the user to restart Copilot CLI for changes to take effect. They can also override temporarily with environment variables:
TYPEAGENT_MODE=direct,mcp,dev, orbypassTYPEAGENT_HOST=hostnameTYPEAGENT_PORT=port
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.

typeagent-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/TypeAgent (738 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 380 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
