WHAT IT DOES

What buy_credits does on 123skills

AI agents call buy_credits to retrieve information from 123skills without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`key`	string	—	Agent key (sk_...). Omit if set as SKILLS123_KEY env.
`pack`	string	Yes	starter: 500cr/$5, pro: 2500cr/$20

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why buy_credits is rated Low

Even though buy_credits only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs buy_credits safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 123skills, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For buy_credits, this is the rule to start with:

buy_credits Allowed

buy_credits is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "buy_credits": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 123skills, apply this rule, and every buy_credits call is checked against it from then on.
