OpenAgent is a self-hostable personal AI assistant that combines language models, document-based retrieval, and autonomous agent loops. It lets people connect model providers and their own knowledge bases, then have agents browse the web, run code, use computers, and call MCP-compatible tools.
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: 5 findings, 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 →

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 | $0.00020 | $0.00620 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00310 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00124 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
openai-whisper-api scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
"requires": { "bins": ["curl"], "env": ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] }, What it actually says
OpenAI Whisper API (curl)
Transcribe an audio file via OpenAI's /v1/audio/transcriptions endpoint. Set OPENAI_BASE_URL to use an OpenAI-compatible proxy or local gateway.

Defaults:
- Model:
whisper-1 - Output format:
text

Custom base URL
Set OPENAI_BASE_URL to use an OpenAI-compatible proxy or local gateway:
API_BASE="${OPENAI_BASE_URL:-https://api.openai.com/v1}"
curl -sS "${API_BASE}/audio/transcriptions" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \

API key
Set OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable before running commands.
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.

openai-whisper-api is a skill published in the GitHub repository the-open-agent/openagent (5,603 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 620 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
