What is searching-zap-rag?

A read-only project search and code-navigation workflow for ZAP and IntelliJ, an integrated development environment.

It searches project text, definitions, usages, implementations, tests, hierarchies, problems, file contents, and version-control history through ZAP.

It makes the most relevant indexed project information the first source for answering codebase questions, reducing guesses and ad-hoc searches.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00122	$0.02049
Opus 5.5	$0.00049	$0.00820
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00024	$0.00410
Haiku 4.5	$0.00012	$0.00205

Security

Grade A, and why

searching-zap-rag 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 2mo 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.

Searching ZAP RAG (MCP)

Read-only. ZAP tools always come first. Do not invent paths or APIs.

STRICT tool priority (mandatory — never reorder)

When ZAP MCP tools from server zap-rag are available, you MUST follow this ladder. Skipping a tier is a policy violation.

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  TIER 1 — ZAP MCP ONLY (use first, exhaust before anything else) ║

║  inventing structure — ONLY after Tier 1 and Tier 2 failed       ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

MUST

Call zap_rag_search before any Tier 2 or Tier 3 tool on codebase questions
Stay inside Tier 1 until RAG modes are tried and, for structural questions, relevant PSI tools are tried
Cite only paths/lines from tool results
Prefer zap_find_usages / zap_call_hierarchy over host “find references” when ZAP is up

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
