Agent skill
hostex
Hostex (hostex.io) OpenAPI v3.0 skill for querying and managing vacation rental properties, room types, reservations, availability, listing calendars, guest messaging, reviews, and webhooks via the Hostex API. Use when you need to integrate with Hostex API using a Hostex PAT (Hostex-Access-Token / HostexAccessToken) or when you need safe, intent-level API calls (read-only by default, optional write operations with explicit confirmation).

--start-date 2026-02-03 \
--end-date 2027-02-02 \
--confirm
Operational guardrails (mandatory)
When doing any write operation:
- Summarize the change (who/what/when/how much).
- Require the user to explicitly confirm (e.g.
CONFIRM). - Prefer
--dry-runfirst if available.
Notes
- Pagination: endpoints commonly accept
offset+limit(limit max 100). - Never print tokens in logs; scripts redact secrets automatically.
