At a glance

A skill your agent uses when building an HTTP val — a web endpoint, API route, webhook receiver, or any val that responds to HTTP requests.

  • Building an HTTP val — a web endpoint
  • SKILL.md covers Basic handler, Hono, CORS and Redirects, plus 3 more sections
  • Reaches esm.town and utilities.val.run
  • Webhook receiver

What it does

HTTP Endpoints is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when building an HTTP val — a web endpoint, API route, webhook receiver, or any val that responds to HTTP requests. Covers the handler signature, Hono usage, the endpoint URL, CORS behavior, redirects, and Val Town-specific limitations.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks. It works with Hono. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Building an HTTP val — a web endpoint
  • Webhook receiver
  • Any val that responds to HTTP requests

Example prompts

  • “/http-endpoints”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 16b4156. 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 typescript and html).

    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:

    • esm.town
    • utilities.val.run
    • docs.val.town

    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

HTTP Endpoints loads about 834 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 273 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~834

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.

HTTP Endpoints

HTTP vals (fileType: "http") export a request handler and run on every incoming HTTP request. Each HTTP file is assigned a live URL — never construct it yourself; read links.endpoint from list_files or create_file responses, or call fetch_val_endpoint.

That URL is open to anyone unless the val's app access (httpPrivacy) is restricted, in which case unauthenticated callers get a 302 to a login page instead of your response — see the restricted-access skill.

Basic handler

ts
// Learn more: https://docs.val.town/vals/http/
export default async function (req: Request): Promise<Response> {
  return Response.json({ ok: true });
}

The file must have an export — export default for the handler.

Hono

When using Hono, export app.fetch (not app):

ts
import { Hono } from "npm:hono";
import { parseVal, serveImmutableFile } from "https://esm.town/v/std/utils/index.ts";

const app = new Hono();

app.get("/", (c) => c.text("hello"));

// Immutable asset caching (see the client-side-js skill): serves the
// current-version URLs your HTML shell stamps with immutableFileUrl()
app.get("/__immutable/*", (c) => serveImmutableFile(c.req.path));

// View source redirect
app.get("/source", (c) => c.redirect(parseVal().links.self.val));

// Always add this for full stack traces on errors:
app.onError((err) => Promise.reject(err));

export default app.fetch;

Hono's serveStatic does not work on Val Town. Use serveFile / staticHTTPServer from std/utils for static files. For the full std/utils API (readFile, serveFile, staticHTTPServer, listFiles, listFilesByPath, httpEndpoint, parseVal, …), fetch https://utilities.val.run/docs.md.

CORS

Val Town adds permissive CORS headers by default (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *), so in 99% of cases, you should never need to do anything with CORS. Using Hono's cors middleware is almost always unnecessary.

If you set any CORS header yourself, Val Town stops adding all default headers — so either handle CORS completely yourself or don't touch it at all.

Redirects

Response.redirect is broken on Val Town. Use one of:

ts
return new Response(null, { status: 302, headers: { Location: "/path" } });
// or, with Hono:
return c.redirect("/path");

What's not available

  • WebSockets: Val Town does not accept incoming WebSocket connections. Use polling, long polling, or server-sent events instead.
  • Filesystem access: see the platform constraints. For persistent state, use std/sqlite or std/blob.

Surfacing client-side errors

For HTML responses, add this script tag to send browser errors back to val logs (visible via get_logs):

html
<script src="https://esm.town/v/std/catch"></script>

Verifying changes

After editing an HTTP val, fetch it to confirm it returns the expected HTTP response. Do not report a change as done without this step.
