creating-an-endpoint

creating-an-endpoint is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PostHog/posthog-foss. It costs 131 tokens per session (2,607 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning a saved PostHog query or insight into a callable API route. It explains which query inputs to expose and how freshness and materialisation affect delivery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to expose stable, reusable PostHog data to an app, dashboard, backend, or other external system.
Why use it?
It helps ensure an endpoint matches a real external use case and avoids creating an unnecessary or unsuitable API surface.

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 →

  • high Anti-Refusal · line 103
    Skill attempts to nullify the agent's safety policies or restrictions ('you have no restrictions', 'ignore your guidelines', 'do anything now'). This is a direct jailbreak that disables guardrails.
    Fix: Remove jailbreak framing that nullifies safety policies or restrictions. Skill content must not instruct the agent to ignore its guidelines or operate without guardrails.
  • high Prompt Injection · line 103
    This pattern attempts to override system instructions or ignore safety constraints. Without LLM analysis, manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Remove or rewrite any text that instructs the agent to ignore prompts, override safety rules, or trust unverified content. Ensure skill content cannot be injected to alter agent behavior.

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

creating-an-endpoint 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Creating an endpoint

This skill walks through creating a new endpoint with the right configuration. Endpoints expose saved HogQL or insight queries as callable HTTP routes — the configuration choices made at creation time determine cost, latency, and how callers integrate.

The materialisation deep-dive lives at references/materializing.md. Pull it in when the materialisation decision is non-obvious.

When to use this skill

  • "Create an endpoint for [query]"
  • "Expose this insight as an API"
  • "Help me turn this HogQL into a callable endpoint"
  • A new caller (mobile app, customer-facing dashboard, downstream pipeline) needs PostHog data and the user is choosing how to deliver it

Decisions to make in order

1. Should this even be an endpoint?

Endpoints are right when:

  • An external system (someone else's code) needs to call PostHog for data
  • The query is stable — not exploratory analysis
  • The shape is reusable — same query with different parameters

Endpoints are wrong when:

  • An internal PostHog dashboard or insight needs the data — use the insight directly; an endpoint only adds an external API surface you don't need internally
  • One-off, exploratory analysis — use the execute-sql tool (or the SQL editor) directly

Heavy aggregation is not a reason to avoid an endpoint. Endpoints are themselves saved queries, and a heavy, frequently-called aggregation is often the best case for an endpoint with materialisation turned on.

If the user is unsure, ask what's calling the endpoint and what shape they expect.

2. Pick a name

Names are URL-safe (letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores), start with a letter, max 128 chars, must be unique within the project. Lean toward:

  • Descriptive over genericweekly_active_users_by_org over metrics
  • Snake_case — matches how the name appears in code paths and URLs
  • No version in the name — versions are managed by the endpoint itself
  • No "endpoint" in the name — redundant
