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.

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 | $0.00194 | $0.01248 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00097 | $0.00624 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00250 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00125 |
Grade A, and why
bharatlas 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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
bharatlas: India's open geo atlas via MCP
bharatlas (bharatlas.com) is India's open geo data catalog. This skill drives 17 MCP tools: a read side over curated layers plus community submissions, and an authoring side for collect maps.
When to use
- Any question about Indian administrative geography (state to village), city wards, constituencies, pincodes.
- Environment / infrastructure / hazard data: forests, wildlife, rivers, reservoirs, dams, groundwater, agro zones, hospitals, highways, airports, flood and seismic zones.
- "What is at this coordinate?" or "what is near this point?" in India.
- Downloading a layer in a GIS format.
- Running a field data collection with collect and publishing the result.
When NOT to use
- Directions, traffic, or finding a business (that is Google Maps, not bharatlas).
- Editing the base map itself (that is OpenStreetMap).
- Geography outside India (bharatlas is India-only).
Read workflow
- Discover:
list_layers(filter by category, level, source, orqsearch) andlist_categories. Always checklist_submissionstoo, community layers may cover topics the curated set does not. - Schema first: call
get_layer_schemaBEFOREquery_layer. Column names vary by source ("state" vs "State_LGD" vs "stname"); the schema shows exact names and sample values. - Query:
query_layerwithwhere(case-insensitive column=value),select, orgroup_byfor counts. Reads the parquet at runtime. - Locate:
locatewith lat/lng returns every admin boundary and zone containing that point in one call. The "where am I?" tool. - Nearby:
nearbyfinds features of a layer within a radius (points, lines, or polygons). - Download:
get_layer_detailreturns direct URLs for parquet, pmtiles, geojson, kml, shapefile.
Source preference
- Admin boundaries (state to village): prefer LGD (
lgd_*) as authoritative. SOI, Bhuvan, geoBoundaries are cross-reference alternates; mention them if the user asks about discrepancies. - City wards: one layer per city (
wards_chennai,wards_pune, ...); some cities have multiple vintages. - Always join on LGD codes, not names (spellings drift across sources).
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.

bharatlas is a skill published in the GitHub repository urbanmorph/geodata (39 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 194 tokens to every session and 1,248 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
