proof-inbox

proof-inbox is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from timdoes/proof-inbox-mcp. It costs 46 tokens per session (388 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for checking whether email addresses are valid through the Proof Inbox verification service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check email addresses, monitor verification credits, inspect payment receipts, and report results without sending email.
Why use it?
It provides a defined result for each address and distinguishes invalid, catch-all, and unknown outcomes instead of treating uncertain checks as valid.

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

proof-inbox 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 5d 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

Proof Inbox

MCP: https://mcp.proofinbox.com/mcp

Auth: workspace_token on the tool call, or Authorization: Bearer <workspace_token>. Get a token from https://proofinbox.com/buy/verify-500 — it is in the checkout URL. Reuse it. Never invent a new one.

Grok Bot form: https://proofinbox.com/grok-bot Custom MCP only. Not the Marketplace catalog. Not grok.com/connectors.

Tools

  • balance — tank check. Costs 0. Call before a batch.
  • verify_email — one address. Fresh checks cost 1. Cache (30 days), syntax errors, and vendor unknown cost 0.
  • receipts — checkout session id and every check. Do not invent session ids.

Loop

  1. Call balance. If verify credits are 0, you will need to buy.
  2. On payment_required, open checkout_url. Do not invent a URL.
  3. Human approves the checkout charge.
  4. Poll balance every 2 seconds for about 30 seconds.
  5. Call verify_email once per address.
  6. When asked what the money bought, call receipts and show the checkout session id.

Results

status is only valid | invalid | catch_all | unknown. unknown means the vendor did not finish. That is not valid. Say unknown.

Do not send email. Do not find emails. This product only verifies.

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.
