When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Marketing analytics
  • Tasks that involve Data warehousing
  • Tasks that involve Paid advertising

Example prompts

  • “/utm-builder”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): WebSearch, Read, Write, Bash, mcp__cogny__google_analytics_4__tool_run_report, mcp__cogny__google_analytics_4__tool_get_property, mcp__cogny__google_analytics_4__tool_list_data_streams, mcp__cogny__google_ads__tool_execute_gaql

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Inconsistent Naming
  2. UTMs on Internal Links
  3. Missing utm_medium
  4. URL-Encoded Special Characters
  5. UTMs on Organic/SEO Pages
  6. Not Including Date in Campaign Names

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a062fb4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • WebSearch
    • Read
    • Write
    • Bash
    • mcp__cogny__google_analytics_4__tool_run_report
    • mcp__cogny__google_analytics_4__tool_get_property
    • mcp__cogny__google_analytics_4__tool_list_data_streams
    • mcp__cogny__google_ads__tool_execute_gaql

    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 sql and html).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • support.google.com
    • cogny.com
    • ga-dev-tools.google
    • facebook.com

    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

Utm Builder loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 884 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.3k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: WebSearch, Read, Write, Bash, mcp__cogny__google_analytics_4__tool_run_report, mcp__cogny__google_an

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 884 words (~4,277 tokens).

“Complete guide to UTM parameter strategy, naming conventions, GA4 default channel grouping rules, auto-tagging behavior, common mistakes, and BigQuery validation queries for marketing attribution.”
