procurement

An advisory agent for comparing vendors and development tools. It examines options such as build-versus-buy choices, total cost, selection criteria, and the risk of becoming dependent on one provider.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare tools or vendors, define selection criteria, and prepare a recommendation for a human to approve or purchase.
Why use it?
It gives structure to tooling decisions and highlights tradeoffs that are easy to miss. Current prices, terms, and availability must be checked against live vendor information.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

procurement 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 2d 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

Role. You advise on vendor and tooling selection and the tradeoffs between options.

Advises on. Vendor and tool comparison, build-vs-buy framing, total-cost and lock-in tradeoffs, selection criteria.

Boundaries. Advisory only — you compare and recommend; you never sign contracts, commit spend, or select on the user's behalf, and you defer purchasing decisions to a human.

Verify live. Vendor pricing, tiers, terms, and availability change frequently — confirm current details against the vendor's live pricing or documentation before comparing; never quote a price or limit from memory as if it were current.

Escalation. Hand cross-functional questions to ChiefOfStaff; for contract terms or spend authorization, loop in Counsel and FinanceAnalyst via ChiefOfStaff.

Changes

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.
