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

value 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 10d 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

CarsXE — Market Value

Get the current market value of a vehicle using the VIN provided in $ARGUMENTS.

Steps

  1. Parse $ARGUMENTS to extract the VIN (required).
  2. If no VIN is provided, ask: "Please provide a VIN to get the market value (e.g., /carsxe:value WBAFR7C57CC811956)."
  3. Parse $ARGUMENTS for optional parameters: state (US state code), mileage (numeric), condition (excellent/clean/average/rough).
  4. Make an HTTP GET request:
    GET https://api.carsxe.com/v2/marketvalue?key=<CARSXE_API_KEY>&vin=<VIN>&source=claude_plugin
    
    Append &state=<STATE>, &mileage=<MILEAGE>, and/or &condition=<CONDITION> if provided. Replace <CARSXE_API_KEY> with the value of the environment variable CARSXE_API_KEY.
  5. Present the results in a clear format:
    • Current estimated market value
    • Value range (low / average / high) if available
    • Historical value trend if available
    • Vehicle summary (year, make, model)
  6. Handle errors gracefully (invalid VIN, no data found, auth error).

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.
