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

selftest 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

Goal

You will run the BiRRe self test and provide a concise diagnostic summary.

Playbook

Run selftest

  • Execute: uv run birre selftest
  • If the user requests production: uv run birre selftest --production

Summarize results

  • Report configuration summary, connectivity checks, subscription tests, and any warnings/errors
  • Provide actionable next steps for each failure.

Optional: targeted runs

  • If asked, re-run with flags (--offline, --debug) and summarize differences

Output format

  • One-paragraph status + short bullet list of issues (if any) with fixes.

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.
