A command for finding the currently focused cell in a 4D View Pro spreadsheet area. It returns a range object identifying that single cell.

In plain words

Use it to get the active cell’s row, column, and sheet, such as after a user clicks in a spreadsheet.
Why use it?
It avoids having to track which cell the user selected before reading or writing data.

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 C, and why

vp-get-active-cell scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

What it actually says

VP Get active cell ( vpAreaName : Text { ; sheet : Integer } ) : Object

Parameter Type Description
vpAreaName Text -> 4D View Pro area form object name
sheet Integer -> Sheet index (current sheet if omitted)
Result Object <- Range object of single cell

Description

The VP Get active cell command returns a new range object referencing the cell which has the focus and where new data will be entered (the active cell).

In vpAreaName, pass the name of the 4D View Pro area. If you pass a name that does not exist, an error is returned.

In the optional sheet parameter, you can designate a specific spreadsheet where the range will be defined (counting begins at 0). If omitted or if you pass vk current sheet, the current spreadsheet is used.

Example

The following code will retrieve the coordinates of the active cell:

$activeCell:=VP Get active cell("myVPArea")
 
  //returns a range object containing: 
  //$activeCell.ranges[0].column=3
  //$activeCell.ranges[0].row=4
  //$activeCell.ranges[0].sheet=0

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.
