developer_custom_tools

A workflow for turning a GitHub repository, local folder, or current workspace into a reusable Custom Tool in Developer Studio. It guides you from reviewing proposed commands through creation and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add a code repository or folder as a reusable tool, refine its commands and metadata, enable it, and test at least one command.
Why use it?
It helps avoid exposing or enabling a tool before its source and commands have been reviewed and accepted.

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

developer_custom_tools 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.

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

Developer Custom Tools

Use this skill when the user asks to add a GitHub repo, local folder, or current workspace as a reusable Row-Bot Custom Tool.

The user can ask in natural language. Treat requests like "make this repo a tool", "add this GitHub repo as a Custom Tool", or "turn this folder into a tool" as Custom Tool creation requests.

Workflow:

  1. Confirm the source: repo URL, local folder, or current workspace. For repo URLs, ask for an explicit clone parent folder if one is not already provided.
  2. Start a draft with custom_tool_builder action start when that utility is enabled. It performs a compact repo scan plus one AI proposal pass, then validates the proposed commands.
  3. Explain the draft commands in plain language. Do not ask the user to hand-write internal config files.
  4. Refine the draft with action refine when the user asks for changes, or action update for a direct command/metadata edit.
  5. Public repo Custom Tools require explicit user enablement of public repo tools before creation. Do not silently enable that gate.
  6. Create only after the user accepts the proposed commands. Use action create.
  7. Test at least one command with action test before enabling or promotion.
  8. Enable Developer use with action enable when the user wants it active in Developer.
  9. Promote with action promote only when the user wants the tool available in normal chat/plugin tools.
  10. If removing a draft or Custom Tool, use action delete and preserve the source folder unless the user explicitly asks to delete files.

Be clear about scope: a Custom Tool starts as Developer-managed metadata around an existing repo/folder; promotion makes it appear in Settings -> Plugins and normal chat tools.

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.
