What it does

Govmap API is an agent skill from LiorVainer/data-israel. This skill should be used when the user asks about 'GovMap layers', 'GovMap API', 'map layers', 'entitiesByPoint', 'layer metadata', 'govmap endpoints', 'what layers are available', 'query map data by location', or mentions adding new GovMap layer tools, querying geospatial data from govmap.gov.il, or extending the govmap data source with new layers. Provides the complete GovMap layers-catalog REST API reference, verified endpoint schemas, and the full catalog of 122 queryable government map layers with their…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/api-endpoints.md` and `references/layers-catalog.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Geospatial analysis and REST APIs. The repository describes itself as: AI agent network that connects to Israeli open data sources - ask questions in Hebrew, get answers grounded in real data with charts and sources.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks about GovMap layers
  • EntitiesByPoint
  • Govmap endpoints
  • What layers are available

Example prompts

  • “GovMap layers”
  • “GovMap API”
  • “map layers”
  • “/govmap-api”

Workflow steps

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

  1. POST /api/layers-catalog/entitiesByPoint
  2. GET /api/layers-catalog/layer/{layerId}/metadata
  3. POST /api/spatial-analysis/layer-features-by-location (Token Required)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6522504. 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 json).

    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:

    • govmap.gov.il

    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

Govmap API loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 545 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 545 words (~1,730 tokens).

“Complete reference for querying Israeli government map layers via the GovMap layers-catalog REST API. All endpoints verified working as of 2026-04-10.”
