What it does

Pharmacy Cash Price is an agent skill from CALLE-AI/awesome-phone-call-agents. Call a retail pharmacy and ask what a drug costs in cash with no insurance, returning a structured price, the quantity it covers, or an explicit refusal. Use for price comparison across several pharmacies, never for anything involving a patient or a prescription.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/examples.md` and `references/safety.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Portable phone-call Agent Skills, apps, examples, adapters, and scheduler recipes for AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Price comparison across several pharmacies
  • Never for anything involving a patient

Example prompts

  • “/pharmacy-cash-price”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. **A price counts only if a dollar amount was said aloud for the quantity you asked
  2. Keep refusals in the denominator. "Seven of twelve pharmacies gave a price" is the
  3. A completed call is not an answered question. A voicemail box returns

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 38d4118. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • data.medicaid.gov

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pharmacy Cash Price loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 683 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.2k

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.

description
Call a retail pharmacy and ask what a drug costs in cash with no insurance, returning a structured price, the quantity it covers, or an explicit refusal. Use for price comparison across several pharmacies, never for anything involving a patient or a prescription.

Ask a pharmacy for a cash price

A cash prescription price is not published anywhere and differs at every counter, so the only way to learn one is to telephone and ask. This skill makes that one call and returns a structured answer.

Use it once per pharmacy and compare the results yourself. It does not rank, recommend, or decide anything.

Before you call

You need three things, and you must not guess any of them:

  • The exact number to dial, in E.164, that a person has authorized for this run. A public business listing is not authorization. Discovering a number and calling it are two separate decisions, and a human makes the second one.
  • The drug as a price list names it: name, strength, form, and quantity. For example "metformin hcl, 500 mg, tablet, 30". Never a patient's regimen.
  • Who you are calling on behalf of, named aloud in the first sentence.

The call

Ask one question and accept the first clear answer:

"What is your cash price, without insurance, for 30 metformin 500 mg tablets?"

Open by stating that you are an automated AI assistant, naming who you are calling for, and that the call is recorded. CALL-E does not disclose this by itself and offers no setting for it, so the disclosure exists only in the task text you send.

Handle the three things that actually happen on a pharmacy line:

  • A phone tree. Navigate to the pharmacy counter, using the keypad when a menu asks.
  • A hold. Wait. Do not hang up and do not talk over hold music.
  • A transfer. Greet the new person, repeat the disclosure in one short sentence, and ask again.

Boundaries

This is a retail price question, the same one a walk-in customer asks all day. Keep it there.

  • There is no patient and no prescription. If asked which patient this is for, say so.
  • Never supply or request a prescription number, date of birth, or insurance details, and never invent them.
  • Never give medical advice, describe symptoms, or suggest starting, stopping, or changing a medication.
  • A refusal ends the call. Do not argue, ask twice, or offer to hold. Pharmacies that will not price by phone are a real and reportable result.

Read references/safety.md before enabling live calls.

The answer

Send this as recipient_result_schema so the result is validated rather than parsed out of a summary. Every uncertain field can answer unknown, because a schema with no way to report uncertainty invites a fabricated number.

json
{
  "type": "object",
  "required": ["answered_by", "quote_status", "cash_price_usd", "quantity_quoted", "notes"],
  "properties": {
    "answered_by": {"type": "string", "enum": ["human", "ivr", "voicemail", "unknown"]},
    "quote_status": {"type": "string", "enum": ["quoted", "refused", "not_stocked", "unknown"]},
    "cash_price_usd": {"type": "string"},
    "quantity_quoted": {"type": "string"},
    "requires_prescription_on_file": {"type": "string", "enum": ["yes", "no", "unknown"]},
    "is_generic": {"type": "string", "enum": ["generic", "brand", "unknown"]},
    "discount_program_mentioned": {"type": "string", "enum": ["yes", "no", "unknown"]},
    "notes": {"type": "string"}
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}

Keep summary, status, transcript and call_id out of a recipient schema: the platform reserves them and will reject the request.

Reading the result

Three rules keep a comparison honest. See references/examples.md for worked cases.

  1. A price counts only if a dollar amount was said aloud for the quantity you asked about. A quote for a different bottle size is a real answer to a different question. Report it, do not rescale it: ninety tablets are not three thirties.
  2. Keep refusals in the denominator. "Seven of twelve pharmacies gave a price" is the finding. Dropping the other five turns an opacity result into a clean-looking average.
  3. A completed call is not an answered question. A voicemail box returns status: completed with task_completed: true. Let quote_status decide.

Judging a price

A price alone cannot be judged, only compared. To say whether one is high, join it to the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost CMS publishes weekly, which is public and needs no key:

https://data.medicaid.gov/api/1/datastore/query/{nadac_dataset_id}?limit=5
  &conditions[0][property]=ndc_description
  &conditions[0][operator]=starts with
  &conditions[0][value]=METFORMIN HCL 500 MG

Multiplying nadac_per_unit by the quantity gives a national benchmark for that bottle, not what the pharmacy on the phone paid. NADAC is a survey average across pharmacy invoices nationwide, so a given shop paid more or less depending on its wholesaler and its volume.

Report the retail price as a multiple of that benchmark, say in the same breath that the benchmark is a national average rather than this pharmacy's invoice, and cite the effective date, because the figure moves weekly. A multiple stated without that qualification reads as a claim about one business's margin, which is not something a phone call can establish.
