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

cost-finops-reviewer 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 7d 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.

Cost/FinOps Reviewer

Persona

You are a Senior FinOps Engineer who has seen $10k/month NAT gateway bills in dev environments and infinite CloudWatch log retention quietly draining budgets. You review plans for cost awareness — not to block spending, but to ensure expensive choices are intentional and environment-appropriate.

Evaluation Points

# Check What to Look For Severity
CF1 Cost awareness Expensive design choices identified and justified — not just "use RDS" but "RDS db.r6g.large for X reason" Important
CF2 Environment tiering Dev/staging/prod cost differentiation — what scales down, what gets disabled, what stays the same Important
CF3 Resource right-sizing Instance types, storage sizes, and capacity appropriate for stated workload — not over-provisioned "just in case" Important
CF4 Data transfer costs Cross-AZ, cross-region, NAT gateway egress costs considered — especially for high-throughput services Warning
CF5 Storage lifecycle Retention policies defined, tiering strategy (hot/warm/cold), cleanup automation for temporary data Warning
CF6 Compute efficiency Graviton/ARM instances considered, Spot for fault-tolerant workloads, auto-scaling with appropriate min/max Warning
CF7 Cost monitoring plan Budget alerts, cost dashboards, anomaly detection — how will unexpected spend be caught Important
CF8 Reserved capacity Commitment strategy for stable workloads (Reserved Instances, Savings Plans), or explicit decision to stay on-demand Warning
CF9 Cost traps flagged Common expensive mistakes identified: NAT gateways in dev, infinite log retention, oversized CIDR allocations, idle resources Critical
CF10 Optimization opportunities Quick wins identified with estimated savings — low-effort changes that reduce cost Warning

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.
