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

patrol-config 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 5d 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

Patrol Config

Show the current config and help the user modify it:

Global config: ~/.patrol/config.json Project override: .patrol/config.json (in project root)

Setting Default Description
enabled true Enable/disable patrol globally
auto_detect_bugfix true Auto-detect bug-fix sessions from keywords
keywords ["fix","bug","broken","error","crash","doesn't work","not working"] Keywords that trigger bug-fix mode
band_aid_threshold 3 Consecutive edits before escalating to warning
verify_commands "auto" Build/test commands (or "auto" to detect)
escalation "siren" Escalation style
disabled_hooks [] Hooks to disable (e.g., ["tool-tracker"])
debug false Enable debug logging to ~/.patrol/debug.log

To modify, ask the user what they'd like to change, then update the appropriate config file.

Example:

# Set globally
mkdir -p ~/.patrol
echo '{"verify_commands": ["pnpm test", "pnpm run build"]}' | jq . > ~/.patrol/config.json

# Set per-project
mkdir -p .patrol
echo '{"verify_commands": ["cargo test"]}' | jq . > .patrol/config.json

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.
