Audit every call to an external provider (WorkOS, the AWS services, any HTTP to a third party), per flow: each route, inbound webhook, worker job, and boot. For each flow, the calls in order, whether they repeat or stand apart, whether they sit on the request path, how often the flow runs, whether the client is reused, the timeout times the retries, and whether the request has an overall deadline. Counts the calls through the identity provider's twin where it can and reads the code where it…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# audit-provider-calls

A call to a provider is the slowest thing a request does and the one
the system controls least. This audit lists every one, flow by flow,
says what each costs a request in the worst case, and ranks what to do
about it.

## Input

`[--only <flow,...>]`

`--only` limits the counted run to some of the built-in flows, as
`audit-database-calls` takes it; the reading of the code covers every
flow all the same. The audit reads the checkout, tools and code alike;
to audit another commit, run it from a checkout of that commit that has
`ops/audit/`. Every command runs from the repository root.

## Role and credential

None, local only. The counted run is on the local stack (`make
infra-up`, with `make migrate` run once), in a database the run makes
and drops, with the identity provider's twin in place of the provider.
It holds no cloud credential, reads no environment and no env file, and
calls no real provider.

## Procedure

1. Name the run: `audit_provider_calls_<yyyymmdd>`, today's date in UTC.
   When `uv run python ops/audit/auditdb.py list` shows that name taken,
   another run holds it: add a suffix (`_2`), and never drop a database
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/audit-provider-calls@sha256:15b836a97a8c73c3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.7748a1f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
