Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00013 | $0.00301 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00151 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00060 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
paper-search scanned grade A with 0 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 4d 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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Paper Search
Search for academic papers and scholarly articles via Google Scholar using the Serper API.
When to Use
- Finding peer-reviewed research on a topic
- Locating seminal papers and their citation counts
- Searching for systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- Grounding claims in academic literature
How to Use
- Formulate an academic-style search query
- Optionally specify year filters to narrow results by publication date
- Call
paper_searchwith the query - Review results for relevance, citation count, and recency
Result Format
Results are returned in markdown format:
**Title of Paper**
Authors: Author A, Author B
Year: 2024 | Citations: 142
Snippet: Brief excerpt from the paper abstract or body...
URL: https://scholar.google.com/...
Constraints
- Results sourced from Google Scholar via Serper API
- Supports year filtering (e.g., papers from 2020-2025)
- Snippet may be from abstract or body text
- Each call counts toward the researcher's 8-call limit per task
Best Practices
- Use domain-specific terminology for better results
- Include key author names if known
- Filter by year for rapidly evolving topics
- Prefer highly-cited papers for foundational claims
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.

paper-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository open-gitagent/opengap (2,925 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 301 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
