ai-coding-agents-tools

ai-coding-agents-tools is a skill for Codex from vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public. It costs 38 tokens per session (4,324 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design guide for the tools used by coding agents: how tools from built-ins, plugins, remote servers, and MCP are collected, discovered, checked, run, and shown to the model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or review a coding-agent command line tool registry, plugin tool loading, permission checks, remote result handling, hooks, and execution pipelines.
Why use it?
It helps keep tool access predictable and permission-aware as the number of tools grows. Deferred loading and tool search can reduce what the agent must load at the start.

Skill for Codex

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

ai-coding-agents-tools 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/toolsearch_schema_loader_example.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

AI Coding Agents Tools

Use this skill to design or review the tool runtime of a coding-agent CLI: tool contracts, tool pool assembly, deferred loading, tool-search behavior, permission-aware execution, and remote rendering of tool results.

This skill owns tool-runtime architecture for coding agents. For command architecture, use ../ai-coding-agents-command-runtime/SKILL.md.

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.
