About the project

AAS Core is a local control plane for coding agents that lets them search a large catalogue of skills, choose a stack, validate it, and create a reproducible plan. It is used to assemble and review agent workflows through its CLI, local MCP server, catalogue, plugins, and Workbench. The catalogue add-ons provide the skills, plugins, bundles, and workflows that AAS Core helps agents select and validate.

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

airtable-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 4d 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.

Airtable Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Airtable operations through Composio's Airtable toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
  • Active Airtable connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit airtable
  • Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

  1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
  2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit airtable
  3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Airtable auth
  4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. Create and Manage Records

When to use: User wants to create, read, update, or delete records

Tool sequence:

  1. AIRTABLE_LIST_BASES - Discover available bases [Prerequisite]
  2. AIRTABLE_GET_BASE_SCHEMA - Inspect table structure [Prerequisite]
  3. AIRTABLE_LIST_RECORDS - List/filter records [Optional]
  4. AIRTABLE_CREATE_RECORD / AIRTABLE_CREATE_RECORDS - Create records [Optional]
  5. AIRTABLE_UPDATE_RECORD / AIRTABLE_UPDATE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS - Update records [Optional]
  6. AIRTABLE_DELETE_RECORD / AIRTABLE_DELETE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS - Delete records [Optional]

Key parameters:

  • baseId: Base ID (starts with 'app', e.g., 'appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
  • tableIdOrName: Table ID (starts with 'tbl') or table name
  • fields: Object mapping field names to values
  • recordId: Record ID (starts with 'rec') for updates/deletes
  • filterByFormula: Airtable formula for filtering
  • typecast: Set true for automatic type conversion

Pitfalls:

  • pageSize capped at 100; uses offset pagination; changing filters between pages can skip/duplicate rows
  • CREATE_RECORDS hard limit of 10 records per request; chunk larger imports
  • Field names are CASE-SENSITIVE and must match schema exactly
  • 422 UNKNOWN_FIELD_NAME when field names are wrong; 403 for permission issues
  • INVALID_MULTIPLE_CHOICE_OPTIONS may require typecast=true

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.
