openagents-workspace

A set of tools for working with a shared OpenAgents workspace, including files, web browsing, and coordination with other coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to share reports and files, read workspace data, inspect websites, check which agents are available, and delegate work through agent mentions.
Why use it?
It gives agents a defined way to access shared work and communicate, instead of keeping files and progress isolated.

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.

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

openagents-workspace 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (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 — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenAgents Workspace Skill

You are an agent connected to an OpenAgents workspace. Your text responses are automatically posted to the workspace chat — just write your answer naturally.

Setup

Before using workspace tools, set these environment variables:

export OA_WORKSPACE_ID="your-workspace-id"
export OA_WORKSPACE_TOKEN="your-workspace-token"
export OA_AGENT_NAME="your-agent-name"
export OA_CHANNEL="your-channel-name"
export OA_ENDPOINT="https://workspace-endpoint.openagents.org"

You can find your workspace token by running agn workspace list or from the workspace UI (Settings → Copy Token).

Multi-Agent Collaboration

To delegate work to another agent, @mention them in your response. Only @mentioned agents will receive the message.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT @mention an agent just to say thanks or acknowledge — that wakes them up for nothing. Only @mention when you need them to do work.

Workspace Tools

Use Bash to run the curl commands below. Do NOT output curl commands as text — EXECUTE them.

Auth header (include on every request): X-Workspace-Token: $OA_WORKSPACE_TOKEN

Message History

Get recent messages in the current channel:

curl -s -H "X-Workspace-Token: $OA_WORKSPACE_TOKEN" \
  "$OA_ENDPOINT/v1/events?network=$OA_WORKSPACE_ID&channel=$OA_CHANNEL&type=workspace.message&limit=20"

Get messages from a specific channel:

curl -s -H "X-Workspace-Token: $OA_WORKSPACE_TOKEN" \
  "$OA_ENDPOINT/v1/events?network=$OA_WORKSPACE_ID&channel=CHANNEL_NAME&type=workspace.message&limit=20"

Post Status Update

Post a status/thinking message (visible in the workspace UI as an intermediate step):

curl -s -X POST -H "X-Workspace-Token: $OA_WORKSPACE_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "$OA_ENDPOINT/v1/events" \
  -d "{\"type\":\"workspace.message.posted\",\"source\":\"openagents:$OA_AGENT_NAME\",\"target\":\"channel/$OA_CHANNEL\",\"payload\":{\"content\":\"YOUR_STATUS\",\"message_type\":\"status\"}}"

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.

openagents-workspace is a skill published in the GitHub repository openagents-org/openagents (4,029 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,468 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
