In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build product types, categories, attributes, catalog features, indexing, and search integrations.
Why use it?

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

magento-catalog 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 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.

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.

Magento 2 Catalog & Product Types

Before writing code

Fetch live docs:

Product Types

Six Built-in Types

Type Description Key Characteristics
Simple Single physical item Unique SKU, own stock, no variations
Configurable Parent with variant children Children are simple products, vary by attributes (size, color)
Grouped Collection of products Simple/virtual children, purchased independently
Bundle Customer-assembled set Options with selectable items, dynamic/fixed pricing
Virtual Non-physical (services) No shipping, no weight
Downloadable Digital products Files/links, optional samples

Configurable Products

The most complex type — a parent product with simple product children:

  • Super attributes determine variations (e.g., color, size)
  • Each combination maps to a child simple product with its own SKU and stock
  • Frontend: dropdown selectors, price updates, image swapping
  • Key tables: catalog_product_super_attribute, catalog_product_super_link

Custom Product Types

Possible to create custom types by:

  • Extending Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Type\AbstractType
  • Registering in etc/product_types.xml
  • Defining custom price model, stock handling, and checkout behavior

Categories

Category Tree

  • Hierarchical structure with root categories and subcategories
  • Each store view has one root category
  • Categories use EAV for attributes
  • URL rewrites generate SEO-friendly paths
  • Display modes: products only, CMS block only, both

Category Attributes

  • name, description, image, meta_title, meta_description
  • is_active, include_in_menu, display_mode
  • url_key, url_path
  • Custom attributes addable via data patches

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.
