What it does

Flexport Core Workflow A is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Run Flexport MCP rate discovery through a human-approved booking decision. Use when searching lanes, evaluating full price, requesting a quote, or booking freight with an auditable approval boundary. Trigger with: "search Flexport rates", "book Flexport freight", "approve Flexport quote".

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: Requires an authenticated Flexport MCP connection, account permission for selected tools, and an authorized freight approver.

It works with Model Context Protocol. 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

  • Searching lanes
  • Evaluating full price
  • Requesting a quote
  • Booking freight with an auditable approval boundary

Example prompts

  • “search Flexport rates”
  • “book Flexport freight”
  • “approve Flexport quote”
  • “/flexport-core-workflow-a”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires an authenticated Flexport MCP connection, account permission for selected tools, and an authorized freight approver.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Normalize the lane
  2. Search without commitment
  3. Evaluate the candidate
  4. Choose the branch
  5. Require human approval
  6. Book once and reconcile

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
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    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 yaml).

    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:

    • mcp.flexport.com
    • api.flexport.com

    Also links to:

    • apidocs.flexport.com
    • developers.flexport.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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires an authenticated Flexport MCP connection, account permission for selected tools, and an authorized freight approver.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Flexport Core Workflow A loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
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
~1.3k

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 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.

Approval-Gated Flexport Rate to Booking

Overview

Separate discovery from commitment. MCP rate tools can search, evaluate, request, and book; a booking must never be inferred from a search result or performed before a named approver accepts the final normalized terms.

Prerequisites

  • Validated origin, destination, cargo, dates, mode, and incoterm
  • Authenticated connection to https://mcp.flexport.com/mcp
  • Named approver, spend boundary, and duplicate-prevention store

Instructions

Step 1: Normalize the lane

Resolve addresses, company entities, ports, addresses, and commodity inputs with read-only network tools. Preserve opaque Flexport identifiers.

Step 2: Search without commitment

Call rates_search_instant_price with approved inputs and store the search/result identifiers plus a redacted input digest.

Step 3: Evaluate the candidate

Use rates_evaluate_total_price_from_instant_price_search for the selected result. Present currency, charge breakdown, timing, assumptions, and expiry exactly as returned.

Step 4: Choose the branch

If instant booking is unavailable, use rates_request_rate and reconcile the quote request. Do not substitute rates_book_without_rate unless that supplier flow was explicitly approved.

Step 5: Require human approval

Bind the approver, exact evaluated result, cargo digest, and approval expiry. Re-evaluate when any material input or provider term changes.

Step 6: Book once and reconcile

Persist an operation key before rates_instant_book; store the returned booking reference and reconcile ambiguous outcomes before any retry.

Authentication

REST calls authenticate with a cached OAuth 2.0 client-credentials Bearer token using audience https://api.flexport.com, or an explicitly accepted broad API key. Use distinct credentials per workload and never log credentials or tokens. MCP calls use the authenticated connection to https://mcp.flexport.com/mcp and remain subject to each tool's documented account permissions.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep for discovery and evidence. Use Write or Edit only for the approved artifact, code, configuration, test, or receipt described by this workflow; do not make an unapproved Flexport-side change.

Output

  • Scoped decision or implementation artifact
  • Redacted operation and validation receipt
  • Failure, rollback, and follow-up ownership record

Return a machine-reviewable receipt in this shape; adapt the operation values, but never place credentials or provider payloads in it:

yaml
surface: rest-v3
operation: shipment-read
decision: approved
outcome: verified
evidence:
  release_sha: recorded-out-of-band
  provider_reference: redacted
rollback_owner: logistics-platform

Examples

An operator searches an ocean lane, evaluates one returned rate, and receives a review card. Only after the logistics owner approves that exact result does the service make one booking call and record the returned reference.

Error Handling

FailureResponse
No instant rateCreate a quote request or stop; never fabricate a price.
Permission deniedRoute to an authorized role instead of escalating credentials.
Terms changed after approvalInvalidate approval and present a fresh evaluation.
