tenuo-denial-triage

tenuo-denial-triage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tenuo-ai/tenuo. It costs 111 tokens per session (2,046 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A troubleshooting workflow for a denied Tenuo call, test, or agent step. It finds whether the caller, policy, or configuration caused the denial and applies the smallest legitimate authority change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate Tenuo denials involving authority, proofs, chains, expiry, approvals, or unknown arguments, then make the permitted call work.
Why use it?
It helps fix permission errors without bypassing the verifier or giving an agent broader access than necessary. It also preserves the exact error and examines the decision point that rejected the call.

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

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.

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

  1. The exact error. Class or code, message, hint, and the field or tool it names. Keep the text; do not paraphrase it away.
  2. 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.
  3. 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, and info() for configuration. In TypeScript, session.inspect() and tenuo.explain(session, tool, args). In Rust, the Diagnostics helper's explain_denial, why_denied, and explain_authority. From a shell, tenuo inspect and tenuo 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.
  4. 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.
