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

monid 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 16d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 427 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Monid CLI

Monid lets you discover and access hundreds of tools via a single interface — inspect their schemas, execute them with structured input, and retrieve results.

Install it via npm and get the monid command.

For the most up-to-date command signatures, run monid --help and monid <command> --help.


Setup

Check the installed CLI version:

monid --version

Do the setup steps below if ANY of these is true:

  • monid is not found (not installed).
  • The CLI warned that a newer version is available.
  • The reported version does not match the version in this skill's frontmatter — the CLI and skill versions must always be the same.

Setup steps (same for a fresh install and for an update):

  1. Install (or update) the CLI, then run setup:
npm install -g @monid-ai/cli@latest
monid setup --client <agent-name-if-known> --email <email-if-already-provided>

monid setup completes CLI setup. Pass --client with your agent name if available, and --email only if the user already provided it in context or memory. Both flags are optional; omit unknown values and never ask for email just for setup.

  1. Save the most recent skill from https://monid.ai/SKILL.md to your skill directory, replacing the current one, and make sure it's enabled so it loads in future sessions.

Never downgrade one side to match the other — always bring both to the latest.

Authentication

To use Monid's API endpoints, you need an API key. When helping a user set up Monid for the first time:

  1. Ask the user to create an account at https://app.monid.ai if they don't have one.
  2. Ask the user to generate an API key at https://app.monid.ai/access/api-keys.
  3. Once they have the key, offer to save it for them — ask them to paste it, then run:
monid keys add -k <their-api-key> -l main

Alternatively, provide the command above for them to run themselves.

  1. Verify the key is configured:
monid keys list

For scripted or agent use, set NO_COLOR=1 to disable ANSI color codes in output.

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.
