vp-get-data-context

A 4D View Pro command that returns the data currently associated with a worksheet. The result can be an object or a collection, depending on how the worksheet data was set up.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve data from a named 4D View Pro area and sheet, or from the current sheet when no sheet number is supplied.
Why use it?
It lets an application read the worksheet's current bound data, including edits made to that data context.

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-data-context 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 2d 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.

VP Get data context ( vpAreaName : Text {; sheet : Integer } ) : any

Parameter Type Description
vpAreaName Text -> 4D View Pro area form object name
sheet Integer -> Index of the sheet to get the data context from
Result Variant <- Data context. Object or Collection

Description

The VP Get data context command returns the current data context of a worksheet. The returned context includes any modifications made to the contents of the data context.

In sheet, pass the index of the sheet to get the data context from. If no index is passed, the command returns the data context of the current worksheet. If there is no context for the worksheet, the command returns Null.

The function returns an object or a collection depending on the type of data context set with VP SET DATA CONTEXT.

Example

To get the data context bound to the following cells:

var $dataContext : Object

$dataContext:=VP Get data context("ViewProArea") // {firstName:Freehafer,lastName:Nancy}

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.
