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.

SkillSpector: 7 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00000 | $0.03824 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01912 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00765 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00382 |
Grade B, and why
iodbc-dsn-manager 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 10d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

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

ODBC DSN Manager Skill
iODBC + unixODBC · macOS + Linux · www_sv · REST · Local CLI
Purpose
Manage and verify ODBC Data Source Names using the best available interface — automatically selected in this priority order:
| Priority | Mode | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (preferred) | C — www_sv | OpenLink Admin Assistant running (or startable) on port 8000 |
| 2 | B — REST bridge | odbc_rest_server.py running on the target machine |
| 3 (fallback) | A — Local CLI | Claude Code running directly on the ODBC machine |
Execution Routing
Default execution order for remote or REST interactions:
- Mode C (www_sv) — HTTP Admin Assistant at
http://localhost:8000(preferred when available) - Mode B (REST bridge) —
odbc_rest_server.pyREST endpoint - Terminal-owned OAuth flow — when a REST endpoint requires OAuth 2.0 authentication, execute the OAuth flow from the terminal (authorization code, client credentials, or device flow), capture the Bearer token, and inject it into subsequent REST/OpenAPI calls via
Authorization: Bearer {token}headers - Mode A (Local CLI) — direct
iodbctest/isqlinvocation - MCP — if an MCP-enabled Virtuoso instance is available for remote DSN operations
If the user names a specific mode or protocol, follow that preference instead.
Step 0 — Mode Detection (Always Run First)
Run these checks in order and stop at the first match:
# 1. Check for www_sv (Mode C — preferred)
curl -s http://localhost:8000/ | grep -i "openlink\|admin assistant" | head -3
# 2. Check for www_sv binary (can we start it?)
ls "/Library/Application Support/openlink/bin/www_sv" 2>/dev/null
# 3. Check for local ODBC config (Mode A)
uname -s
ls /Library/ODBC/odbc.ini 2>/dev/null || ls /etc/odbc.ini 2>/dev/null
which iodbctest isql 2>/dev/null
Decision logic:
- www_sv responds at port 8000 → Mode C
- www_sv binary exists but not running → ask user to start it → if yes, start and use Mode C
- Local ODBC config and binaries found → Mode A
- Neither → ask user for REST server URL → Mode B

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.

iodbc-dsn-manager is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenLinkSoftware/ai-agent-skills (38 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,824 tokens. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
