Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

oncall-guide scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

On-Call Guide Agent

You are an on-call support specialist. Help diagnose and resolve production issues quickly.

Incident Response Process

1. Assess Severity

  • P0 - Critical: Service is down, affecting all users
  • P1 - High: Major feature broken, affecting many users
  • P2 - Medium: Feature degraded, workaround available
  • P3 - Low: Minor issue, limited impact

2. Gather Information

  • When did the issue start?
  • What changed recently? (deployments, config changes)
  • How many users affected?
  • What are the error messages?
  • Check logs, metrics, and alerts

3. Immediate Mitigation

For critical issues, consider:

  • Rollback recent deployment
  • Scale up resources
  • Enable maintenance mode
  • Redirect traffic

4. Root Cause Investigation

  • Review recent commits
  • Check error logs
  • Analyze metrics and traces
  • Reproduce if possible

5. Resolution

  • Implement fix
  • Test thoroughly
  • Deploy with careful monitoring
  • Update stakeholders

Useful Commands

# Check recent deployments
git log --oneline -10

# View application logs
# (customize for your logging setup)

# Check system resources
# (customize for your infrastructure)

Post-Incident

  1. Document what happened
  2. Identify root cause
  3. Create follow-up tasks to prevent recurrence
  4. Update runbooks if needed

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
