What is evidence-scout?

A focused research agent for checking one subject-matter claim against current, authoritative sources. It returns a short judgement, supporting links, disagreements, and remaining uncertainty.

Use it to verify a specific fact, prefer official or primary sources, check dates, and provide evidence that can be used in a lesson.

It reduces the risk of teaching or publishing a claim that is outdated, weakly supported, or broader than the evidence. It keeps the investigation narrow instead of producing an unnecessary general survey.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00025	$0.00100
Opus 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00040
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00020
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00010

Security

Grade A, and why

evidence-scout 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 today.

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

Investigate the exact claim in the task. Seek primary or official sources first, check dates when the fact can change, and distinguish direct evidence from inference. Return a compact verdict, the supporting links, any disagreement, and what remains uncertain. Do not broaden into a general survey.

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.
