mqtt-automation

An automation connector that publishes SharpAI Aegis camera events to an MQTT broker. MQTT is a lightweight messaging system used by devices and automation software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to publish analyzed clips, detected people, alerts, and camera-offline events to Home Assistant, Node-RED, or another MQTT service.
Why use it?
It makes camera events available to home-automation tools and other MQTT-compatible systems as they happen.

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

mqtt-automation 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/mqtt_publish.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

MQTT Automation

Publishes SharpAI Aegis events to an MQTT broker. Integrate with Home Assistant, Node-RED, or any MQTT-compatible automation platform.

Events Published

Event Topic When
clip_completed aegis/{camera_id}/clip_completed New clip analyzed
person_detected aegis/{camera_id}/person_detected Person identified
alert aegis/{camera_id}/alert Smart alert triggered
camera_offline aegis/{camera_id}/camera_offline Camera stops responding

Setup

python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Files

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.

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.

mqtt-automation is a skill published in the GitHub repository SharpAI/DeepCamera (3,025 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 420 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
