What is set-retention?

A command that sets how many hours log files are kept before cleanup removes them.

Use it when you need to set a log-retention period, such as 1 hour, 24 hours, 48 hours, 168 hours, or 720 hours.

It lets you control storage use and decide how much past log information remains available. Older files are deleted according to the period you set.

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	$0.00011	$0.00155
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00062
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00031
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00015

Security

Grade A, and why

set-retention 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 2mo 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

If no argument was provided, ask the user how many hours they want to retain logs for. Common options:

1 hour (aggressive cleanup)
24 hours (1 day, default)
48 hours (2 days)
168 hours (1 week)
720 hours (30 days)

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.
