sandbase

A single connection to more than 2,000 AI models and API tools for tasks such as text, image, video and audio generation, search, scraping, embeddings, social data, and structured retrieval. An API is a way for software to request work or data from another service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find and call AI models, generate media, search or scrape web data, create embeddings, access social data, and retrieve structured information.
Why use it?
It provides one interface for trying many external models and services instead of building a separate connection for each one.

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.

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

sandbase 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 2d 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 — 222 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SandBase MCP

SandBase provides access to 2,000+ AI models and API tools through a unified MCP interface. One account covers LLMs, image generation, video generation, audio, embeddings, web scraping, social media APIs, and more.


Setup

If the six sandbase_* MCP tools are not already available, connect the current machine with the immutable v0.1.17 release. Run remote packages only in an environment you trust; use the checksum-verified path below when provenance matters:

npx -y https://github.com/sandbaseai/cli/releases/download/v0.1.17/sandbaseai-cli-0.1.17.tgz connect

For a checksum-verified install, download the same immutable asset first and verify the SHA-256 published with the GitHub Release:

curl -fLO https://github.com/sandbaseai/cli/releases/download/v0.1.17/sandbaseai-cli-0.1.17.tgz
printf '%s  %s\n' '1ad535b2899ca460b57b3c268aef278fee28fd28e649a89b92951514fd71fffa' 'sandbaseai-cli-0.1.17.tgz' | shasum -a 256 -c -
npx -y ./sandbaseai-cli-0.1.17.tgz connect

Approve the browser sign-in once. Authentication happens with SandBase in the browser; the CLI stores the resulting local session record with restricted file permissions. The CLI detects supported clients, installs the local MCP bridge and this managed Skill, and verifies the resulting configuration. No provider API keys are required. Invoke the same release URL with doctor to inspect the connection or unregister to remove only SandBase-managed state.

This file is managed by SandBase CLI and may be replaced during a later CLI-managed update, so keep custom instructions in a separate Skill. Check the official repository for newer releases before copying it independently.

The disable-model-invocation: true frontmatter prevents this Skill from being invoked as a standalone model action. It is contextual guidance for an agent orchestrating the six sandbase_* MCP tools.

Before sending sensitive or regulated data, review the SandBase Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, plus the selected upstream provider's policies. Send only the minimum data needed for the requested tool call.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

Changes

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.

sandbase is a skill published in the GitHub repository sandbaseai/cli (94 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 2,189 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
