pangaea-data-api

pangaea-data-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wentorai/research-plugins. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,715 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to the PANGAEA data repository API. PANGAEA stores published datasets about Earth and environmental science, and an API lets programs search, inspect, and download them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search ocean, climate, geology, ecology, and atmospheric datasets by topic, location, measurement, or date.
Why use it?
It removes the need to find and retrieve these datasets manually through a website.

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

pangaea-data-api scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d 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.

PANGAEA Data Repository API

Overview

PANGAEA is the world's leading data repository for earth and environmental sciences, hosting 400K+ datasets with 20B+ data points. It archives research data from oceanography, paleoclimatology, geology, ecology, and atmospheric science. Each dataset has a DOI and is linked to the originating publication. The API provides search, metadata retrieval, and data download. Free, no authentication required.

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.
