api-health

api-health is a skill for Claude Code from vmkteam/claude-plugins. It costs 43 tokens per session (841 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for checking JSON-RPC services, which are APIs that receive named method calls in a standard JSON format. It uses service metadata and test requests to check availability and collect response timings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query configured production or staging endpoints, test RPC methods, measure total response and first-byte times, and investigate unavailable health checks.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose whether an RPC endpoint is reachable and whether slow responses come from the service or its network path. It also documents common endpoint and firewall obstacles.

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

api-health 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 23d 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.

API Health — проверка JSON-RPC сервисов

Проверка здоровья API и тестовые запросы к JSON-RPC (zenrpc) сервисам.

Подключение

Profile: @{api_prod_profile} (production), @{api_dev_profile} (staging)
API type: JSON-RPC 2.0 (zenrpc)
RPC endpoint: определяется при онбординге (может быть /rpc/, /v1/rpc/, /v3/rpc/ и т.д.)

Особенности:

  • /status и /healthcheck обычно скрыты за firewall, недоступны снаружи
  • SMD (GET на RPC endpoint) может не работать через reverse proxy (фронтенд перехватывает GET)
  • RPC endpoint может быть версионирован: /v1/rpc/, /v3/rpc/ — уточнять при онбординге
