What it does

Provider API Call Dedup is an agent skill from mondoohq/mql. Use when a provider scan is slow, times out, or trips rate limits (429, throttling, Retry-After), when the same request URL appears many times in a debug log, when an asset's fields look like they cost one API call per scanned asset, or when auditing any provider under providers/ for redundant per-asset API traffic. Applies to aws, azure, gcp, k8s, okta and any other provider, since the resource cache and init dispatch are shared machinery.

Its SKILL.md is about 7.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Rate limiting and Container orchestration. It works with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: open source, cloud-native, graph-based query language.

When your agent uses it

  • A provider scan is slow
  • Trips rate limits (429
  • The same request URL appears many times in a debug log
  • An assets fields look like they cost one API call per scanned asset

Example prompts

  • “/provider-api-call-dedup”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Measure before touching anything
  2. Classify every init
  3. Scope the resource cache
  4. Migrate inits

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ffbaa58. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • rg

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Provider API Call Dedup loads about 7.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,169 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.7k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 4,169 words (~7,656 tokens).

“Two pieces of shared mql machinery decide how many times a provider asks the same question. Both fail quietly: the scan still returns correct data, it just costs N times more calls than it needs, and the redundancy is what…”
