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

zins-assess-network-security 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.

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.

Z-Insights: Assess Network Security Posture

Keywords

firewall analytics, zero trust firewall, firewall effectiveness, allow block ratio, firewall by location, network services, firewall rules, policy hits, firewall report, security posture, network security, blocked traffic, firewall monitoring

Overview

Assess your organization's network security posture by analyzing Zero Trust Firewall data through Zscaler Analytics (Z-Insights). This skill examines firewall action distribution (allow vs block), traffic patterns by location, network service usage, and firewall rule hit counts to evaluate policy effectiveness and identify gaps.

Zscaler's Zero Trust Firewall protects web and non-web traffic for all users, applications, and locations with the industry's most comprehensive cloud-native Security Service Edge (SSE) platform. This analysis covers both inbound and outbound traffic enforcement.

Use this skill when: A security or network team needs to evaluate firewall policy effectiveness, investigate blocked traffic patterns, review network service usage, or generate firewall compliance reports.

Important constraints:

  • Z-Insights only supports historical data with a 24-48 hour processing delay
  • Time ranges must be exactly 7 or 14 days
  • All firewall queries support time ranges up to 90 days

Workflow

Follow this 5-step process to assess network security posture.

Step 1: Understand the Assessment Goal

Gather from the requester:

  • What is the goal? (policy effectiveness, compliance audit, incident investigation, baseline review)
  • Time period? (7 days for recent, 14 days for trends)
  • Specific locations of interest?
  • Are there known policy changes to evaluate?
  • Compare with a previous period?

Step 2: Analyze Firewall Action Distribution

Get firewall traffic by action (allow/block):

zins_get_firewall_by_action(
    start_days_ago=9,
    end_days_ago=2,
    limit=10
)
```text

This shows how much traffic is being allowed versus blocked. Key metrics:
