What it does

Cohere Security Basics is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Apply a Cohere security baseline for keys, tenant isolation, input controls, output handling, safety modes, and logs. Use when building or reviewing a Cohere integration. Trigger with "Cohere security", "secure Cohere key", or "Cohere safety review".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Cohere API key

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Multi-tenancy. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a Cohere integration
  • With Cohere security
  • Secure Cohere key
  • Cohere safety review

Example prompts

  • “Cohere security”
  • “secure Cohere key”
  • “Cohere safety review”
  • “/cohere-security-basics”

Requirements

  • A credential in CO_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Cohere API key
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Map data classes, tenants, endpoints, tools, logs, and credential owners.
  2. Enforce server-side key injection, outbound host allowlisting, timeouts, and request-size limits.
  3. Apply tenant filters before retrieval and authorize every tool call independently of model intent.
  4. Choose and test the supported safety mode for each resolved model and feature combination.
  5. Redact logs and validate output before rendering, persistence, or side effects.
  6. Test key exposure, prompt injection, cross-tenant retrieval, unsafe output, and tool escalation.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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):

    • docs.cohere.com
    • cohere.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • CO_API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Cohere API key

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Cohere Security Basics loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 440 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

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.

Cohere Security Baseline

Overview

Protect the credential and the data path around the model; safety modes complement but do not replace application security controls.

Prerequisites

  • The target repository, runtime, environment, and accountable owner
  • An approved Cohere team and key for any live verification
  • Current quality, security, privacy, capacity, and change-control requirements

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect code, configuration, and evidence. Use WebFetch only for current Cohere primary documentation. Use Write or Edit only when the user requested implementation and the exact target files are known; never write credentials or customer content.

Current Contract

  • Keep keys in an approved secret manager, separate them by environment, and rotate on exposure.
  • Authorize retrieval and tool execution in application code before any data leaves its trust boundary.
  • Cohere safety modes are model- and feature-dependent; tools or documents can constrain the available mode.
  • Treat model output, citations, tool arguments, and retrieved text as untrusted data.

Authentication

Use an environment-specific key injected from an approved secret manager. Never print, persist, commit, or place CO_API_KEY in an example. Confirm access with the least costly bounded operation appropriate to the task, and treat key creation, rotation, revocation, role changes, and production-capacity requests as owner-approved actions.

Instructions

  1. Map data classes, tenants, endpoints, tools, logs, and credential owners.
  2. Enforce server-side key injection, outbound host allowlisting, timeouts, and request-size limits.
  3. Apply tenant filters before retrieval and authorize every tool call independently of model intent.
  4. Choose and test the supported safety mode for each resolved model and feature combination.
  5. Redact logs and validate output before rendering, persistence, or side effects.
  6. Test key exposure, prompt injection, cross-tenant retrieval, unsafe output, and tool escalation.

Approval Boundaries

Do not expose or rotate keys, change Cohere Team roles, accept commercial terms, enable sensitive production data, increase spend or capacity, switch production models, send a support bundle, or execute model-proposed side effects without the accountable owner's approval. Keep diagnosis read-only unless implementation was requested.

Output

Return the resolved API and model contract, files or settings inspected, evidence collected, validation result, remaining risk, owner, and rollback or next action. Redact keys, authorization headers, prompts, retrieved documents, embeddings, customer identifiers, and unrestricted environment output.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Unsupported safety modeFail closed or use the approved supported mode after review.
Cross-tenant resultStop the release and treat it as a security incident.
Prompt injectionKeep instructions and authorization outside retrieved content.
Key exposureRotate or revoke and investigate retained copies.

Examples

Use this compact handoff shape to keep the selected scope, validation evidence, and operational result reviewable.

Input:

text
environment=production; features=rag,tools; tenants=multi; data=confidential

Expected handoff:

text
keys=isolated; retrieval=tenant-filtered; tools=authorized; safety=tested
