vp-get-formula

vp-get-formula is a command for coding agents from Ganbin/4d-development-skill. It costs 0 tokens per session (311 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A spreadsheet command that reads the formula from a selected cell range in 4D View Pro, a spreadsheet component for 4D applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check, log, or reuse a cell formula. It returns an empty string when the selected cell has no formula.
Why use it?
It lets code inspect a cell’s calculation rule without manually reading the spreadsheet. For multiple cells, it returns the formula from the first cell.

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-formula 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 formula ( rangeObj : Object) : Text

Parameter Type Description
rangeObj Object -> Range object
Result Text <- Formula

Description

The VP Get formula command retrieves the formula from a designated cell range.

In rangeObj, pass a range whose formula you want to retrieve. If rangeObj designates multiple cells or multiple ranges, the formula of the first cell is returned. If rangeObj is a cell that does not contain a formula, the method returns an empty string.

Example

  //set a formula
VP SET FORMULA(VP Cell("ViewProArea";5;2);"SUM($A$1:$C$10)")
 
$result:=VP Get formula(VP Cell("ViewProArea";5;2)) // $result="SUM($A$1:$C$10)"

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.
