Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00020 | $0.00472 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00236 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
watch-folder 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 3d 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
Set up a folder watch for: $ARGUMENTS
Run the carrel CLI via Bash. First run carrel watch --help to confirm the exact flags available in the installed version, then map the user's request onto them — never invent flags. The expected interface is:
carrel watch DIR --on created,modified [--glob '*.pdf'] --run 'carrel thumb {path} --out-dir thumbs'
[--debounce 500] [--once] [--timeout SECS] [--json-lines]
--on: comma-separated events (created, modified, deleted, moved).--glob: only react to matching filenames.--run CMD(repeatable, runs in order): the action;{path}is replaced with the triggering file (shell-quoted for you).--once: exit after the first triggered action — use for demos/tests.--timeout SECS: hard stop.--json-lines: machine-readable event log on stdout.
If carrel watch --help reports that the command does not exist, the installed carrel predates it — say so instead of guessing flags.
Important: this is a long-running foreground process. Run it via Bash in the background (or with --timeout/--once for a bounded demo), tell the user how it will keep running and that Ctrl-C/kill stops it cleanly. Suggest recipes from this plugin's watch-automation skill (auto-thumb, auto-index, auto-convert drop folders). Report the watch config back: directory, events, glob, action(s).
Requires the carrel CLI on PATH. If carrel is not found, tell the user to install it with uv tool install <path-to-carrel-repo> (see the repo's INSTALL notes), or run it as uv run carrel ... from the carrel repo root.
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.

watch-folder is a command published in the GitHub repository coltonbearden/carrel (1 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 472 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
