Instructions for signing into APIClaw and making one live API request through its catalog of callable external services.

In plain words

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

apiclaw 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (install.ps1, install.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 282 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

APIClaw

Your agent calls real APIs. You sign in once. One workspace. Clerk auth. The metric that matters is a successful POST /v1/execute, not an install.

Give an agent this file and it can install, sign in, and land one 200 without guessing.

Live catalog (2026-08-25). Use https://apiclaw.cloud/api/catalog if counts must be current. Do not invent metrics.

  • 1,025 callable
  • 26,619 discoverable
  • 22 built-in providers

Identity and product truth live at https://apiclaw.cloud/llms.txt. This file is the operational door: auth, then whoami, then execute.

1. Install

Node.js 18+ and npx are enough. A global install is optional.

npx -y @nordsym/apiclaw@latest --version

Human shell door (same package, local MCP):

curl -fsSL https://apiclaw.cloud/install.sh | bash

2. Auth (Clerk). Never paste a token into chat.

Unsigned MCP / CLI first_run mints a pending login even with no TTY and prints the exact https URL as the first line of the tool/CLI response (then repeats it as login_url in JSON). The first lines look like:

https://apiclaw.cloud/auth/cli?authId=…

STOP. Show the human the login URL on the first line. Do not summarize it away. Do not execute.

Show the human that first-line URL on its own line so they can click it. Do not bury it. Do not summarize the tool result. Do not only print npx @nordsym/apiclaw auth login. A command without /auth/cli?authId= is not enough.

If you are running on a machine the human cannot see (Grok Bot, cloud VM, headless agent), do not run auth login there — that opens a browser they will never get. The first-line URL in the tool response is the only door. Show it. Stop. Wait.

npx @nordsym/apiclaw auth login

That command is the human-shell door on a machine they can see. It opens the same browser URL (or reuses the pending one). Finish Google or email on that URL. Completing sign-in there Authorizes this agent (one action). If you are already signed in, click Authorize. Do not tell a new user they still need a second click after sign-in. Only then does the CLI write session_token to ~/.apiclaw.toml. Printing the URL is not success. Do not declare ready. Do not execute.

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.

apiclaw is a skill published in the GitHub repository nordsym/apiclaw (8 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 3,142 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
