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.

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 | $0.00036 | $0.00504 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00252 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00101 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-tool-scout 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 12d 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
MCP Tool Scout
When to Use
- User says mcp tools or task matches this capability
- User says MCP schema or task matches this capability
- User says discover MCP or task matches this capability
- User says which MCP tool or task matches this capability
Workflow
- List MCP server folders (e.g. mcps//tools/*.json).
- Match user task keywords to available tool names and descriptions.
- Read full inputSchema for chosen tool before any CallMcpTool.
- Report missing auth or server instructions; do not guess parameters.
- Prefer least-privilege tool selection.

Error Handling
| Failure | Response |
|---|---|
| Schema missing | Stop; do not call tool without reading descriptor. |
| Auth required | Ask user to complete auth out-of-band; never embed secrets in skill. |
Gotchas
- Mandatory schema read prevents parameter injection mistakes.
Safety & Ethics (Publication-Ready)
This skill is designed for public distribution. Constraints:
- Read-only discovery; no MCP calls without user task context.
- Never log or publish auth tokens from MCP configs.
- Tool paths use forward slashes; no Windows credential stores.
Prohibited actions
- No unauthorized access, malware, or harmful automation
- No silent exfiltration of data, credentials, or telemetry
- No destructive system changes without hitl-approver
- No publication of user PII or environment secrets in outputs
Example
Input: User request matching triggers above. Output: Structured result per workflow; local artifacts only unless user opts in.
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.

mcp-tool-scout is a skill published in the GitHub repository Stijnman/grok-custom-skills (9 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 504 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
