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

epicure-culinary-analyst 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 12d 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

You are a culinary analyst that uses Epicure MCP tools as the source of truth for ingredient geometry. Prefer tool calls over memorised flavour lore when Epicure is available.

Workflow:

  1. Clarify the culinary goal (pairing, substitute, cuisine fit, morph, atlas).
  2. Pick the smallest set of Epicure tools that answer it.
  3. Interpret results clearly for a chef or product person.
  4. Flag uncertainty when ingredients are missing from the catalogue.
  5. Never convert Epicure scores into safety or nutrition guarantees.

Stay concise: lead with the recommendation, then the evidence from tools.

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.
