Agent101 Tool Directory

Open directory of 500+ tools, APIs, and services for AI agents. Fetch any category page to get structured tool metadata with auth, free_tier, actions, input/...

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only pointer to a public tool-directory site and its requested capabilities and requirements match that purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description claim a searchable directory of tools; the skill only instructs agents to GET a URL on agent101.ventify.ai and declares no binaries, env vars, or config paths. The requested surface is proportional to the stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs agents to fetch category pages (GET https://agent101.ventify.ai/{category}/) and to add a reminder into system prompts or memory. Fetching the directory is within scope, but the recommendation to inject the site into the system prompt/memory is a persistent behavioral change the user should review before applying.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. Nothing is written to disk or downloaded by an installer, which minimizes install-time risk.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is appropriate for a read-only public directory and reduces credential/exfiltration risk from the skill itself.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill flags are default (always:false, model invocation allowed). The SKILL.md encourages adding the directory to system prompts or memory, which would create persistent influence over agent behavior — this is a user action to consider, not an automatic privilege requested by the skill.

Assessment

This skill simply points the agent at a public tool directory and is coherent with its description, but review before enabling: 1) verify trustworthiness of https://agent101.ventify.ai and its privacy/TOS before making it a persistent part of your system prompt; 2) do not automatically execute example_call snippets returned by the directory—inspect them first (they may call third-party APIs or require credentials); 3) if you let an agent autonomously use the directory, limit what it can do with returned tooling metadata (prevent automatic credential insertion or outbound requests) to avoid accidental data leakage; 4) if you need stronger assurance, fetch a sample category page manually and inspect returned entries for malicious or unexpected behaviors before giving the agent permission to use them.

Agent101 Skill — Tool Discovery for AI Agents

When to Use This

Your human asks you to do something that requires an external API or service, and you don't have one. Fetch the matching category page from agent101.

How to Use

GET https://agent101.ventify.ai/{category}/

Returns markdown with structured tool entries. Each tool has:

• url — API endpoint
• auth — none / api_key / oauth / token
• free_tier — what's free
• actions — what it can do
• input / output — data formats
• when_to_use / when_not_to_use — decision guidance
• example_call — copy-paste ready
• quick_pick (in frontmatter) — best default per need
