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

amp-prune 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.

What it actually says

/amp-prune

Remove old messages and attachments from your agent's mailbox.

Usage

/amp-prune [options]

Options

  • --dry-run - Show what would be removed (default)
  • --apply - Remove it
  • --days N - Age threshold in days (default: 90)
  • --include-unread - Also remove unread inbox messages (default: keep them)
  • --id UUID - Operate as this agent

What it removes

  • Read inbox messages older than N days
  • Sent messages older than N days
  • Attachment folders older than N days that no remaining message refers to

Symlinks are never followed. A summary with the bytes freed is printed.

Automatic pruning

Off by default. Set AMP_RETENTION_DAYS=N and saving a message to the inbox runs this in the background, at most once every 24 hours. Unset, 0 or a non-number leaves it off.

Examples

/amp-prune
/amp-prune --days 30 --apply
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.
