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 | $0.00114 | $0.01865 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00057 | $0.00932 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00373 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00186 |
Grade A, and why
vendor-third-party-risk 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.

Vendor Third-Party Risk
Overview
This skill implements third-party risk management (TPRM) for compliance programs—operating with the rigor of GRC platforms (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe) but without assuming a specific vendor tool. It complements hipaa-baa-vendor-assessment (legal BAA focus) with operational security assessment:
- Inherent/residual risk scoring
- SOC 2 Type II report review (bridge letters, subservice orgs)
- Security questionnaire mapping (SIG Lite, CAIQ, custom)
- Continuous monitoring of vendor status (breach news, certification expiry)
- Control inheritance decisions for SOC 2 carve-out reports
Applies to LLM providers, cloud hosts, MCP operators, observability SaaS, and identity providers.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Onboarding a new vendor processing customer data, ePHI, or CHD
- Annual vendor recertification in compliance calendar
- Reviewing vendor SOC 2 report for subservice organization reliance
- Completing security questionnaires sent to/from vendors
- Assessing LLM/AI vendor risk beyond BAA (model security, logging, subprocessors)
- Building vendor risk register for SOC 2 CC9.2 and HIPAA §164.308(b)
- Evaluating GRC automation tools themselves as vendors
Do not use this skill when:
- Drafting BAA legal clause analysis (use
hipaa-baa-vendor-assessment) - MCP OAuth configuration (use
mcp-compliance-integration) - Internal employee access reviews (use
access-control-identity-audit)
Core Process
Execute steps in order.
Step 1: Vendor tiering
- Classify vendors by inherent risk:
| Tier | Criteria | Review depth | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 Critical | ePHI/CHD processing, production access | Full assessment + SOC 2 + annual onsite/virtual | LLM with BAA, cloud prod, MCP host |
| T2 High | Confidential data, internal network access | SOC 2 + questionnaire | SIEM, IdP, ticketing |
| T3 Medium | Limited data, no prod access | Questionnaire + certification check | Marketing SaaS |
| T4 Low | No sensitive data | Lightweight attestation | Office supplies |
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.

vendor-third-party-risk is a skill published in the GitHub repository vaquarkhan/compliance-agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 1,865 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.
