plugins

An authenticated HTTP interface that lists the active plugins on an agent-exec server and links to their usage documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list plugins, fetch each plugin's instructions, and run documented plugin commands through the execution endpoint.
Why use it?
It helps an agent discover available extensions and learn the commands they expose before using them.

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.

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

plugins 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

SKILL: plugins

Endpoint: GET /api/plugins

Overview

Returns active plugins with links to their SKILL documentation.

curl -H "X-API-Key: <API_KEY>" http://<host>/api/plugins

Response

{
  "plugins": [
    {"name": "<plugin name>", "skill": "/private/skills/<name>/SKILL.json"}
  ]
}

The skill URL follows the response format:

  • GET /api/plugins.json returns SKILL.json links
  • GET /api/plugins.md returns SKILL.md links
  • GET /api/plugins.html returns SKILL.html links

How to use

  1. Call GET /api/plugins to get the plugin list
  2. For each plugin, fetch the skill URL with your API_KEY to read its usage documentation
  3. Use the documented commands via POST /api/exec
# Step 1: list plugins
curl -H "X-API-Key: <API_KEY>" http://<host>/api/plugins

# Step 2: read plugin docs
curl -H "X-API-Key: <API_KEY>" http://<host>/private/skills/<name>/SKILL.json

# Step 3: execute
curl -X POST http://<host>/api/exec \
  -H "X-API-Key: <API_KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"args": ["<command>", "--version"]}'

Authentication

Required: X-API-Key: <API_KEY>.

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.
