openapi-automotive

openapi-automotive is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from openapi/openapi-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (366 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An API connection for looking up vehicle details using a license plate, or a German KBA number. It covers cars and motorcycles in several European countries, plus some insurance and inspection records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve technical data for vehicles in Italy, the UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Portugal, and to check supported insurance or inspection status.
Why use it?
It removes the need to find vehicle, insurance, or MOT information separately across different country services. Test data is available in a sandbox before using paid lookups.

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

openapi-automotive 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 3d 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.

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.
