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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 17 Skill grants unrestricted tool access without appropriate constraints. An agent with unfettered tool access can perform arbitrary actions including file modification, network requests, and code execution.Fix: Restrict tool access to only the tools required for the skill's stated purpose. Use an explicit allowlist rather than granting blanket access.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00112 | $0.01572 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.00786 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00314 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00157 |
Grade A, and why
unifi-protect 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 6d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
UniFi Protect MCP Server
You have access to a UniFi Protect MCP server that lets you query and manage a UniFi Protect NVR. It provides 62 tools covering cameras, smart detections, Find Anything detection search, recordings, snapshots, lights, sensors, chimes, Known Faces, license plates, and the Alarm Manager (arm/disarm).
Tool Discovery
The server uses lazy loading by default — only meta-tools are registered initially:
| Meta-Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
protect_tool_index |
Discover tools by name/description; use category, search, or include_schemas to filter |
protect_execute |
Call any tool by name (essential in lazy mode) |
protect_batch |
Run multiple tools in parallel |
protect_batch_status |
Check async batch job status |
Workflow: Call protect_tool_index to find the right tool, then protect_execute to call it. Use protect_batch for multiple independent queries.
Safety Model
All mutations are disabled by default because Protect controls physical security hardware.
Read operations — always available. Listing cameras, events, snapshots, sensor readings — all work without permissions.
Mutations require explicit opt-in via env vars:
UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_CAMERAS_UPDATE=true— camera settings, recording toggle, PTZ, rebootUNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_LIGHTS_UPDATE=true— light brightness, PIR sensitivityUNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_CHIMES_UPDATE=true— chime volume, triggerUNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_ALARM_UPDATE=true— arm/disarm the Alarm Manager (Protect 6.1+)UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_RECOGNITION_UPDATE=true— Known Face rename/mergeUNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_RECOGNITION_DELETE=true— Known Face deletion
The category segment is the server's config key (CAMERAS, LIGHTS, CHIMES, SENSORS), not the singular permission_category shorthand in tools_manifest.json (camera, light, chime). UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_CAMERA_UPDATE is never read. A denied tool's error names the exact variable to set.
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.
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.

unifi-protect is a skill published in the GitHub repository sirkirby/unifi-mcp (809 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 1,572 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
