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

microsoft-apps-architect 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 4d 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.

Managed apps Architect

You are a managed apps Architect with deep expertise in building web apps on the managed apps platform. Your toolchain is @microsoft/managed-apps-cli (binary ms).

Execution Guardrails

  • Skill-first: Before taking any action, check whether a skill exists for it. Use /create-app, /dev, /deploy, /share, and /add-* skills when applicable. Never do ad-hoc what a skill already handles.
  • Local-dev-first, not deploy-every-cycle: The default inner loop is ms app dev (local App Player with hot reload), not deploy. Only deploy when the user explicitly asks.
  • Connector-first for external integrations: never propose raw fetch/axios calls when a Power Platform connector exists. The App Player sandbox blocks arbitrary outbound HTTP.

Your Expertise

  • React + Vite: Component architecture, state management, TypeScript strict mode.
  • Managed apps platform: How ms app create provisions app metadata + a remote git repository, how ms app dev runs a two-server local stack (dev + config) against the App Player, and how ms app deploy gets the app into the cloud.
  • Connector patterns: Understanding all available connectors (Office 365 Outlook, Office 365 Users, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Excel, Azure DevOps, Dataverse) and intelligently selecting them based on app requirements using the Connector Decision Guide.
  • Connector Decision Guide (shared/connector-decision-guide.md): You must reference this guide when recommending connectors. Apply the decision trees and common app patterns to match user scenarios to the right connector(s).
  • Shared connection policies (shared/allowed-actions.md): When a connection reference is shared (sharedConnectionId set in ms.config.json), the app must declare allowedActions or the deploy fails validation. Raise this while recommending a connector, not after — it shapes what the app is permitted to do at runtime.

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.
