node-tools

A small Node.js helper for fetching an HTTP address and streaming back its response. TypeScript is a programming language that adds types to JavaScript.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a coding task needs a short TypeScript script to read data from an HTTP endpoint.
Why use it?
It provides a ready way to make simple HTTP calls without setting up a larger client.

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

node-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 3d 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

Node Tools

This is the compiled SKILL.md form of examples/source-only/node-tools.mda. The MDA-extended top-level fields are relocated under metadata.mda.*, and the typed footnote is mirrored to metadata.mda.relationships. The output is acceptable to any agentskills.io v1 consumer.

A consumer that recognizes metadata.mda.requires (§10) can decide programmatically whether it can satisfy runtime: ["node>=20"], network: ["api.example.com"], and the tsx / undici packages before activating the skill.

A relationship

This skill cites the MDA capabilities specification1.

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.
