ping

A connectivity check for EventSourcingDB, a database that records changes as events. It asks whether the server is reachable and running.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check an EventSourcingDB connection or confirm that a local instance is running.
Why use it?
It quickly shows whether the database endpoint is available before you try other operations.

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

ping 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Ping

Check if an EventSourcingDB instance is reachable.

Shared Instructions

First read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/common.md. It explains how to determine the base URL, how to handle NDJSON responses, and which conventions apply. Follow it throughout this skill.

Request

No authentication is required for this endpoint.

curl -s -i "${ESDB_URL:-http://localhost:3000}/api/v1/ping"

Response

Check that the response contains HTTP status 200 OK and the Server header starts with EventSourcingDB/.

The response body is JSON in CloudEvents format and contains:

{"data":{"message":"My God, it's full of stars."}}
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.

ping is a skill published in the GitHub repository thenativeweb/claude-plugins (6 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 208 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
