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

companies-house-uk 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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

companies-house-uk

Free, official UK company data from the Companies House Public Data API. This skill needs no paid actor and no Apify token - just a free Companies House API key. Use it as the front door for UK 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 UK companies against the official register. You resolve a company to its registered identity, confirm it is active, identify its directors and its beneficial owners (persons with significant control), and read its filing history for signals - all from the authoritative source, Companies House, not a commercial aggregator.

What this gives you (for free)

  • Company profile - number, status (active / dissolved / liquidation), incorporation date, registered office, SIC codes, accounts and confirmation-statement due dates.
  • Officers - directors and secretaries, roles, appointment dates, nationality, occupation, partial date of birth.
  • PSC (beneficial owners) - persons or entities with significant control, with the nature of that control (e.g. ownership of 75-100% of shares, voting rights, right to appoint the board).
  • Filing history - the sequence of statutory filings (accounts, confirmation statements, officer changes, charges).

Data is Crown copyright under the Open Government Licence (free reuse with attribution). Read-only.

Authentication (free, one-time)

  1. Register a free account and create an application at https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk → Manage applications → create an API key (a "REST API" / "Live" key).
  2. Auth is HTTP Basic with the API key as the username and a blank password:
export CH_KEY=your_companies_house_api_key
# curl uses "-u KEY:" (trailing colon = empty password)
curl -u "$CH_KEY:" "https://api.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/00445790"

There is no per-call charge. Rate limit is 600 requests per 5-minute window across all endpoints; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests until the window resets. Batch and back off - there is no burst allowance.

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.
