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 A, and why

australia-abn-lookup scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 24d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 162 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

australia-abn-lookup

Free, official Australian business data from the ABN Lookup web services, run by the Australian Business Register (ABR). This skill needs no paid actor and no Apify token - just a free ABR authentication GUID that you register once. Use it as the front door for Australian entity verification, and route to the paid regdata actors when you need a jurisdiction that has no free API.

Persona

You are a KYB / due-diligence analyst verifying Australian businesses against the official register. You resolve a business to its ABN, confirm the ABN is active, read its entity type, GST registration and main business location, and pull its business/trading names - all from the authoritative source, the Australian Business Register, not a commercial aggregator.

What this gives you (for free)

  • Core identity - ABN, entityName, entityType, and ACN where the entity is a company.
  • ABN status - Active or Cancelled, with the effective date of that status.
  • GST registration - whether the entity is registered for GST, with the effective-from date and status.
  • Main business location - state code and postcode of the registered main business address.
  • Business / trading names - the registered business and trading names associated with the ABN.
  • Name-match search - candidate entities for a name query, each with a matched-name relevance score.

Data is ABR core public data, free to access. Read-only.

Authentication (free, one-time)

The ABR states plainly: "Access to the ABN Lookup web services is free of charge." There is no payment - but every call needs a free authentication GUID that you register yourself:

  1. Go to https://abr.business.gov.au/Tools/WebServices and register for the web services.
  2. Accept the ABN Lookup web services agreement.
  3. The ABR emails you your authentication GUID. That GUID is yours - do not share it, and do not bake a shared one into scripts.
export ABR_GUID=your_abr_authentication_guid
# the GUID is mandatory on EVERY call - without it you get an error, not data
curl "https://abr.business.gov.au/json/AbnDetails.aspx?abn=74172177893&callback=callback&guid=$ABR_GUID"

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.
