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 | $0.00111 | $0.02046 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00818 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00409 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00205 |
Grade A, and why
tenuo-denial-triage 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 19d 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 — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Tenuo Denial Triage
A denial is the system working. Find out whether the caller, the policy, or the configuration is wrong, then fix that with the smallest possible increase in authority. Never route around the verifier, and never make a test pass by widening what the agent may do.
Announce at start: "I'm using the tenuo-denial-triage skill to find why this call was denied and the narrowest fix."
Collect the facts before changing anything
- The exact error. Class or code, message, hint, and the field or tool it names. Keep the text; do not paraphrase it away.
- The decision point. Which verifier denied: an in-process guard, an MCP server, a gateway, a sidecar, a worker. And which link: root trust, an intermediate warrant, the leaf, the proof-of-possession, or an approval gate.
- The presented authority, from the SDK's own diagnostics, not from reading code. In Python,
why_denied()on the warrant for the exact tool and arguments,diagnose()on the warrant,explain()on the caught error, andinfo()for configuration. In TypeScript,session.inspect()andtenuo.explain(session, tool, args). In Rust, theDiagnosticshelper'sexplain_denial,why_denied, andexplain_authority. From a shell,tenuo inspectandtenuo verify. When the denial happened in another process, start from the receipt: its decision code, action, request hash, and trusted-roots hash say what the verifier saw. Confirm every diagnostic name against the installed package version before relying on it. - The call as the verifier saw it. Tool name, every argument after normalization and injection, the holder key that signed, and the timestamp. Argument names and types matter as much as values.
Write a one-screen triage note before editing:
Error: <class or code>: <message>
Denied check: tool | constraint(<field>) | unknown field | expiry | PoP | chain | monotonicity | revocation | approval | configuration
Decision point: <component> at <file:line or service>, chain link: <root | intermediate | leaf | PoP>
Presented: tools=<...> constraints=<...> holder=<key id> expires=<...>
Call: tool=<...> args=<normalized map> signer=<key id>
Cause: caller | policy | configuration | expected denial
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.

tenuo-denial-triage is a skill published in the GitHub repository tenuo-ai/tenuo (103 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 2,046 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-27.

Fixes GitHub issues using parallel analysis agents for root cause investigation, code exploration, and regression detection.

error-analysis
Evals-first error analysis for LLM apps: clusters real Langfuse or JSONL traces into a human-confirmed failure taxonomy with counts, then recommends binary pass/fail evals for recurring named modes. Use to learn what to measure before writing evals. Not for CI failures.

Add or change Rust diagnostic tracing in litellm-rust, including route spans, subscriber layers, and Python logger delivery.
ci-debug
Diagnose a failing CI run against an 11-pattern playbook. Classifies the failure, cites the relevant memory entry, proposes the exact fix command — but NEVER applies without explicit user approval. Use when a specific PR check or GitHub Actions run failed and you want a diagnosis instead of speculation. Don't use for…

Monitoring and observability patterns for Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, Langfuse v4 LLM tracing (astype, scorecurrentspan, shouldexportspan, LangfuseMedia), and drift detection. Use when adding logging, metrics, distributed tracing, LLM cost tracking, or quality drift monitoring.
paired-probe
Refuse a verdict a probe did not earn. Runs a check where the fault IS present and where it is NOT, and blocks the answer when both arms print the same thing, because a check that cannot disagree with you has measured nothing. Also catches the zero-sample sweep that reads as "clean" and the swallowed error that reads…
