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

estimate-azure-cost 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 6d 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

Estimate Azure Cost

Context

  • Azure CLI version: !az --version 2>&1 | head -1 || echo "Azure CLI not installed"
  • Current subscription: !az account show --query name -o tsv 2>&1 || echo "Not logged in"
  • Resource groups: !az group list --query "[].name" -o tsv 2>&1 | head -10 || echo "No resource groups"

Your Task

Analyze Azure costs and provide optimization recommendations for the specified resource group or subscription.

Arguments

  • $1: Resource group name (optional, analyzes entire subscription if not provided)

Steps

  1. Analyze current costs

    • Query cost management data
    • Group by resource type and service
    • Identify top cost drivers

  2. Identify optimization opportunities

    • Find unused resources
    • Check for oversized VMs
    • Review storage tiers
    • Identify RI candidates

  3. Provide recommendations

    • Reserved instance opportunities
    • Rightsizing suggestions
    • Azure Hybrid Benefit eligibility
    • Spot VM candidates
    • Storage optimization

  4. Calculate potential savings

    • Estimate savings per recommendation
    • Prioritize by impact
    • Provide implementation steps

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.
