netlify-image-cdn

netlify-image-cdn is a skill for Claude Code from netlify/context-and-tools. It costs 133 tokens per session (2,113 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A Netlify web endpoint that resizes, crops, converts, and optimizes images when the browser requests them. Netlify is a hosting platform for websites.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create responsive images, thumbnails, WebP or AVIF files, cropped images, animated outputs, and blurred placeholders through image URLs.
Why use it?
It avoids preparing separate image files for every screen size or format. The same source image can be requested with different dimensions, crop settings, formats, and quality levels.

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

netlify-image-cdn 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 8d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Netlify Image CDN

Transform images by requesting /.netlify/images with query parameters. No function or file authoring required — it's a built-in edge endpoint.

# resize + crop to a 50px square, retain left side, convert to webp at q=80
curl -vs 'https://mysitename.netlify.app/.netlify/images?url=/owl.jpeg&fit=cover&w=50&h=50&position=left&fm=webp&q=80'

There is no legacy/deprecated form — the endpoint above is the only programmatic surface. Use framework image components where available (below) rather than hand-building URLs.

Endpoint & query parameters

GET /.netlify/images?url=<source>&...

Param Values Notes
url relative path or full remote URL REQUIRED. Only required param.
w integer px width
h integer px height
fit contain (default), cover, fill resize behavior
position center (default), top, bottom, left, right only applies when fit=cover
fm avif, jpg, png, webp, gif, blurhash output format; webp/gif can be animated
q integer 1100 (default 75) only for avif, jpg, gif, webp

fit behavior

fit= aspect ratio kept crops excess returns exact dimensions
contain yes no no — one dimension may be smaller
cover no yes yes — scaled proportionally, then cropped
fill no no yes — stretched/squished if needed
  • fit=cover requires BOTH w and h. Supplying only one silently misbehaves.
  • contain with one dimension calculates the other to preserve aspect ratio.

Format & content negotiation

  • Source-only request (just url, no size/format): image is unchanged in size/shape but still reformatted to avif/webp based on the browser's Accept header.
  • No fm specified → webp if accepted, else avif if accepted, else original.
  • fm=blurhash returns a BlurHash text string, not image bytes. Pointing <img src> or a CSS background at it renders nothing. Fetch the string server-side/ahead of time, decode it client-side with a BlurHash library (https://blurha.sh), then load the real image as a separate request without fm=blurhash.

Changes

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.
