What is vss-manage-alerts?

A workflow for operating VSS alerts, including live monitoring, alert subscriptions, verification, incident lookup, and camera onboarding.

It is for setting up always-on alerting, verifying alerts on demand, querying incidents, subscribing through Alert-Bridge, and connecting cameras.

It brings the steps for detecting and checking incidents together, including sending notifications to Slack.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00054	$0.13928
Opus 5	$0.00027	$0.06964
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.02786
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.01393

Security

Grade B, and why

vss-manage-alerts scanned grade B 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/alert-notify/incident_utils.py, scripts/alert-notify/notifier_base.py, scripts/alert-notify/open_claw_dashboard_notifier.py, …), 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

curl -sf -X POST "$AB/api/v1/verification/ondemand" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- `curl` and `jq` on the agent host. Docker Compose mode detection may use

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

Files

What ships with it

28 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
