Instructions for connecting an agent to Polaris Catalog, a service for storing and managing data catalogs. They require choosing how to sign in and entering the needed connection details one at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when connecting to Polaris with client credentials, a bearer token, or an account username and password.
Why use it?
They prevent the agent from silently using default login details and reduce mistakes when setting up a catalog connection.

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 C, and why

connect_polaris_catalog scanned grade C 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 12d 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.

Harvests environment variableshighData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

What it actually says

Connect to Polaris Catalog

When the user asks to connect to the Polaris catalog, you MUST NOT use the default authentication credentials automatically. Instead, follow these steps:

  1. Ask for Authentication Mode: Use the ask_question tool to ask the user which authentication mode they want to use:
    • Client Credentials (default): Requires Client ID, Client Secret, and Polaris URI.
    • Bearer Token: Requires a pre-existing OIDC/JWT Token and Polaris URI.
    • OIDC Password Credentials: Requires Token URL, Client ID, Client Secret, Username, Password, and Polaris URI.
  2. Collect Credentials (One by One): Once the user chooses their authentication mode, collect the required connection details one value at a time to avoid overwhelming them.
    • For each parameter, ask a single question or present a single input request, providing a reasonable default if available, and wait for the user's response before asking for the next value.
    • Do NOT ask for all values in a single response.
    • Parameters to collect:
  3. Connect via MCP Tool: Use the polaris-catalog MCP server's connect tool to execute the connection. Do not attempt to run python scripts or write code to connect; always use the MCP server tools for catalog operations.

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.
