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.

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 | $0.00110 | $0.01892 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00055 | $0.00946 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00378 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00189 |
Grade A, and why
hipaa-baa-vendor-assessment 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 12d 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.

HIPAA BAA Vendor Assessment
Overview
This skill performs structured Business Associate Agreement (BAA) review for vendors that create, receive, maintain, or transmit ePHI on behalf of a covered entity or business associate. Key regulations:
- 45 CFR §164.502(e): BA may use/disclose ePHI only per BAA or law
- 45 CFR §164.504(e): Required BAA provisions
- 45 CFR §164.308(b)(1): Business associate contracts and other arrangements
LLM and MCP ecosystems introduce non-obvious subprocessors: model hosts, vector DBs, prompt logging, crash reporters, and MCP registry operators. This skill produces a vendor-by-vendor compliance matrix with pass/fail on mandatory BAA clauses—not a substitute for legal counsel.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Onboarding an LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) for ePHI-adjacent workloads
- Evaluating cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) for HIPAA workloads
- Assessing MCP server operators or self-hosted MCP with third-party dependencies
- Reviewing observability, logging, or support tools that may capture prompts/responses
- Annual BAA renewal or subprocessor change notification review
- Determining whether a vendor is a Business Associate vs conduit exception
Do not use this skill when:
- Vendor handles only de-identified data with expert determination (confirm de-identification first)
- Pure PCI card processing without ePHI (use PCI skills)
- Technical control testing of encryption (use
hipaa-technical-safeguards)
Core Process
Execute steps in order.
Step 1: Vendor inventory and BA determination
- List all vendors in the ePHI processing chain:
- LLM API provider, cloud host, MCP server host, CDN, email, ticketing, SIEM
- For each vendor, determine status:
- Business Associate: accesses ePHI on behalf of CE/BA → BAA required
- Conduit: transient access only (e.g., TLS VPN pipe)—document narrow exception analysis
- Not in scope: no ePHI access—document exclusion rationale
- Record:
vendor-inventory-{id}.csvwith data types, access mode, BAA status.
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.

hipaa-baa-vendor-assessment is a skill published in the GitHub repository vaquarkhan/compliance-agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 1,892 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
