What it does

Update Pricing is an agent skill from nesquikm/mcp-rubber-duck. Update LLM pricing data for all providers

Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: An MCP server that acts as a bridge to query multiple OpenAI-compatible LLMs with MCP tool access. Just like rubber duck debugging, explain your problems to various AI "ducks"… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/update-pricing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Research current pricing from all provider websites (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, Together AI)
  2. Discover and add models that are actually listed on pricing pages - do NOT add speculative/future models
  3. Update any prices that have changed
  4. Remove models that are no longer available or deprecated
  5. Update the DEFAULT_PRICING_LAST_UPDATED timestamp to today's date
  6. Run npm run typecheck and npm test -- tests/pricing.test.ts to verify changes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e321d9. 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:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Update Pricing loads about 270 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 130 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~270

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.

Update Pricing

Use the pricing-updater subagent to update the LLM pricing data in src/data/default-pricing.ts.

The agent should:

  1. Research current pricing from all provider websites (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, Together AI)
  2. Discover and add models that are actually listed on pricing pages - do NOT add speculative/future models
  3. Update any prices that have changed
  4. Remove models that are no longer available or deprecated
  5. Update the DEFAULT_PRICING_LAST_UPDATED timestamp to today's date
  6. Run npm run typecheck and npm test -- tests/pricing.test.ts to verify changes

Important guidelines:

  • Only add models with explicit pricing on official provider pages
  • Do not invent or extrapolate pricing for unannounced models
  • When uncertain about a price, skip the model rather than guess
  • Cross-reference model names exactly as they appear in API documentation
