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.

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 | $0.00035 | $0.00396 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00198 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00079 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00040 |
Grade A, and why
authorization 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 6d 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.
What it actually says
Authorization for External Data Sources
Security Requirement
It MUST be verified that the principal accessing an external data source has permissions to access or modify the data. Authentication alone (knowing who the principal is) is not sufficient; authorization (what they can do) must also be enforced.
Authorization Scope
| Operation | Authorization Check |
|---|---|
| Read data | Does the principal have read permission for this specific data? |
| Write data | Does the principal have write permission? |
| Modify schema | Does the principal have administrative permissions? |
| Delete data | Does the principal have delete permission? |
| Bulk export | Does the principal have permission for bulk data access? |
Principle of Least Privilege
Each AI system component should have only the minimum data access permissions needed:
| Component | Typical Permissions |
|---|---|
| RAG ingestion pipeline | Read-only on source data |
| Inference engine | No direct data source access (goes through RAG) |
| Agent with data tools | Read-only unless write is explicitly required |
| Admin/maintenance jobs | Broader access, time-limited and audited |
Implementation Checklist
- Define the minimum data access permissions needed by each AI component
- Configure data source access controls to enforce least privilege
- Separate read and write permissions (do not grant write when only read is needed)
- Verify authorization on every data access request (not just at connection time)
- Regularly audit data source permissions and remove unnecessary access
- Use role-based or attribute-based access control at the data source level
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.

authorization is a skill published in the GitHub repository RedHatProductSecurity/prodsec-skills (52 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 396 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
