tokens

tokens is a command for Claude Code from akasecurity/ai-tc. It costs 13 tokens per session (252 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that reports coding-agent token use and estimated cost by model from local records. Tokens are the small pieces of text that models process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Viewing token totals and estimated model costs, including cases where pricing is unknown.
Why use it?
It helps track usage and understand which models account for the recorded cost.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the aka plugin — 10 commands, 8 hooks shipped together

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

tokens 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 8d 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

AKA tokens

Run the read script and show the user its output exactly as printed. The script already prints its content inside a Markdown code fence — reproduce that verbatim and do not add another code fence, strip the fence, or reformat it. The fence is required: it is space-aligned monospace (a per-model usage table) that Markdown would otherwise collapse. Do not reformat or summarize the table; you may add at most one short sentence of context after it.

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/query.js" tokens

This reads the local store at ~/.aka/data/aka.db (token counts reconciled from your Claude Code transcripts, grouped by provider/model, with estimated USD cost). It is read-only. Token counts are exact; cost is derived at read time — a means unknown pricing (a local or non-Anthropic model), so a total is a lower bound, not an understatement. If the store is empty, the script says so — relay that as-is; nothing is wrong.

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.
