What it does

Vastai Webhooks Events is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Analyze, verify, and operate Vast.ai notification webhooks with exact-body HMAC, replay protection, deduplication, durable enqueue, and failure-aware acknowledgment. Use when notification events must drive automation. Trigger with: "receive Vast.ai webhooks", "verify X-Vast-Signature-256", "handle duplicate Vast.ai events".

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 a public HTTPS receiver, durable queue and deduplication store, secret manager, and notification webhook access.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks and Data cleaning. 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

  • Notification events must drive automation
  • With: receive Vast.ai webhooks
  • Verify X-Vast-Signature-256
  • Handle duplicate Vast.ai events

Example prompts

  • “receive Vast.ai webhooks”
  • “verify X-Vast-Signature-256”
  • “handle duplicate Vast.ai events”
  • “/vastai-webhooks-events”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a public HTTPS receiver, durable queue and deduplication store, secret manager, and notification webhook access.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create a bounded subscription
  2. Store the one-time secret
  3. Verify raw delivery
  4. Reject replay and duplicates
  5. Acknowledge after durable enqueue
  6. Test and operate failure paths

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.

    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.vast.ai

    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 a public HTTPS receiver, durable queue and deduplication store, secret manager, and notification webhook access.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Vastai Webhooks Events loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 450 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
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
~1.5k

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.

Signed Vast.ai Notification Receiver

Overview

Vast.ai notifications are signed, at-least-once deliveries. Verify the exact raw body before JSON parsing, reject stale timestamps, deduplicate by stable event ID, enqueue durably, and return success only after acceptance.

Prerequisites

  • Full subscription keys such as client:low_credit or client:outbid
  • Public HTTPS endpoint without redirects or private-address resolution
  • Webhook secret store, five-minute replay window, durable queue, and event ledger

Instructions

Step 1: Create a bounded subscription

Discover valid notification types and subscribe only the required full client or host keys. Respect the four-webhook-per-user limit and retain context-specific webhooks when short slugs overlap.

Step 2: Store the one-time secret

Capture the signing secret at create or rotate time because list and update responses do not return it. Test retrieval and rotation ownership.

Step 3: Verify raw delivery

Require POST, read exact body bytes, combine integer X-Vast-Timestamp, a period, and raw body, then compare the HMAC-SHA256 against X-Vast-Signature-256 in constant time.

Step 4: Reject replay and duplicates

Reject missing or malformed headers and timestamps older than 300 seconds. Deduplicate retries using X-Vast-Event-Id or payload event_id.

Step 5: Acknowledge after durable enqueue

Persist the verified event and return 2xx quickly. Process side effects asynchronously and idempotently; the delivery timeout is ten seconds.

Step 6: Test and operate failure paths

Use the provider test delivery, verify rotation, and monitor permanent 3xx/most-4xx failures versus retryable 408, 429, 5xx, timeout, or connection errors.

Authentication

Webhook configuration uses the scoped Vast.ai API key; delivery verification uses the distinct webhook secret. Never log either secret or parse/re-serialize JSON before signature verification.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep to inspect manifests, configuration, provider output, and existing tests before proposing a mutation. Use Write or Edit only for the approved plan, implementation, test, or redacted receipt; do not create, update, destroy, or fund Vast.ai resources without explicit operator approval.

Output

  • Subscription keys, webhook ID, and secret-rotation ownership
  • Signature, replay, deduplication, enqueue, and idempotency tests
  • Delivery health and retry/permanent-failure receipt

Return webhook ID, context keys, test event ID, signature/replay/dedupe results, acknowledgment latency, queue record, and rotation date.

Examples

A client:low_credit delivery is verified from raw bytes, rejected if older than five minutes, deduplicated by event ID, enqueued, and acknowledged with 204 before the worker pages the billing owner.

Error Handling

FailureResponse
Signature or timestamp is invalidReturn a permanent client error and do not enqueue or disclose verification details.
Duplicate event arrivesReturn success after confirming the original durable record; do not repeat side effects.
Queue is unavailableReturn a retryable failure such as 503 rather than acknowledging data loss.
Endpoint redirectsFix the configured final HTTPS URL because redirects are permanent delivery failures.
