What it does
Discovering Connectors is an agent skill from airbytehq/airbyte-agent-sdk, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Discovers available Airbyte connectors, explores their entities/actions/schemas, and checks auth requirements. Use when asking what connectors exist, what a connector can do, or what fields/entities are available.
Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. It works with Airbyte. The repository describes itself as: 🐙 Drop-in tools that give AI agents reliable, permission-aware access to external systems.
When your agent uses it
- Asking what connectors exist
- What a connector can do
- What fields/entities are available
Example prompts
- “Use the discovering-connectors skill to discover available Airbyte connectors, explores their entities/actions/schemas, and checks auth requirements”
- “/discovering-connectors”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae1a33c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Discovering Connectors loads about 582 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 126 words (~582 tokens).
“Each connector has documentation at: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte-agent-sdk/tree/main/connectors/{name}”
- name
