api-canvas

api-canvas is a skill for Claude Code from wallieinformal201/pentest-mcp-server. It costs 81 tokens per session (6,775 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A DuckDB-backed workspace for registering table-shaped data from APIs, querying multiple tables with SQL, and exporting results as CSV, Parquet, or JSON. DuckDB is a database engine that can analyse data locally.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect tabular API results, register them as tables, run ad-hoc SQL across those tables, and export the answers.
Why use it?
It provides an analysis surface for data that would otherwise remain in separate API responses or storage blobs. It is intended for operations such as grouping, joining, aggregating, and filtering time-series data.

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-canvas 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 — 527 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

DataCanvas is a primitive for storage stashes, canvas computes. The existing IStorageProvider is a key/value abstraction — it can stash blobs but exposes no analytical surface. DataCanvas is the analytical surface: register tabular data from upstream APIs, run SQL across multiple registered tables, and export results as CSV/Parquet/JSON.

Tier 3@duckdb/node-api is an optional peer dependency (bun add @duckdb/node-api). Servers that don't enable canvas pay zero install cost. Lazy-loaded on first use.

Disabled by default. Set CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE=duckdb to enable. Otherwise core.canvas is undefined.

Cloudflare Workers: unsupported. DuckDB has no V8-isolate build. Setting CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE=duckdb on a Worker fails closed with a ConfigurationError at init time.


When canvas earns its keep

Two gates before wiring canvas in — both must be yes. Canvas that fails either is a SQL surface nobody queries.

  1. Is the data analytical, not just large? Canvas is for tabular/numeric result sets an agent runs SQL over — aggregate, group, join, time-series filter. A discovery/search surface returning categorical metadata (titles, IDs, types, dates) where the workflow is find the record, then drill into it does not qualify, regardless of row count. A 5,000-row search result is still discovery. The gate is shape, not size: the right question is "would an agent write SELECT … GROUP BY against this?", not "does it have many rows?" For name→ID resolution over a bounded list, reach for MCP-side list filtering (see the design-mcp-server skill) instead.
  2. Is it too big to inline? A result that fits the response (≤ ~100 rows of compact data) just gets inlined — no canvas. Canvas is the third option only when shape and size both call for it.

If canvas earns its keep, it carries an obligation: a tool that emits a canvas_id MUST ship a dataframe_query tool in the same server's surface (see the simple-shape Tools row and the Checklist). A canvas_id with no query tool is dead output — the agent literally cannot reach the staged data.

api-canvas is a skill published in the GitHub repository wallieinformal201/pentest-mcp-server (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 6,775 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
