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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00092 | $0.00882 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.00441 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00176 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00088 |
Grade A, and why
tool-connector 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Tool Connector — Connect Any Work Tool to Your Agent
Requires the repo cloned locally. Check if it's already present (
ls setup.md), then readsetup.md— that is the full entry point. The sections below summarize the approach for reference.

Internal tools are first-class citizens
Internal and custom-built tools are often the most valuable to connect — deployment portals, incident trackers, internal knowledge bases, custom dashboards, HR systems, anything your company built or runs. They follow the exact same setup path as commercial tools and stay private in personal/ (gitignored, never committed).
If a tool has an API or a web UI, it can be connected.
Core principles
- Ask for a URL first, not credentials — a URL the user has open reveals the base URL, workspace, and regional variant without requiring them to know anything about auth
- Run every command yourself — never paste a command and ask the user to run it
- Validate with real output before marking anything done — no illustrative output, no copy-paste from docs
- Zero friction — never require the user to create an OAuth app, register redirect URIs, or configure anything outside of this flow
Routing
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
Tool already in verified_connections.md |
Reverify — run its verify snippet; if it passes, done |
Tool has a recipe in personal/{tool}/ |
Load it and try; patch in personal/ if it fails |
Tool has a recipe in tool_connections/{tool}/ |
Read that tool's setup.md and follow it |
| Tool not found anywhere | Follow add-new-tool.md to build a recipe from scratch |
Never edit tool_connections/ directly — copy to personal/{tool}/ and patch there.
Auth priority order
| Priority | Method | User friction |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | API token | ~30s — generate in tool settings |
| 2 | Browser session (SSO, cached) | Run once — session cached for days/weeks |
| 3 | Browser session (per operation) | Playwright on every call — only if no API exists |
| 4 | Username + password | Legacy tools only |
| ✗ | OAuth requiring user to create their own app | Never — too much friction |
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.

tool-connector is a skill published in the GitHub repository ZhixiangLuo/10xProductivity (474 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 882 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
