vp-get-names

vp-get-names is a command for coding agents from Ganbin/4d-development-skill. It costs 0 tokens per session (445 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A command reference for retrieving names defined in a 4D View Pro area, which is a spreadsheet-like component inside the 4D development environment. The names can refer to cells or ranges in a sheet or workbook.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list named cells or ranges, formulas, and comments from the current sheet or the whole workbook.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember the command’s parameters, scope options, result format, and returned properties.

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-names 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 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.

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 names ( vpAreaName : Text { ; scope : Integer } ) : Collection

Parameter Type Description
vpAreaName Text -> 4D View Pro area form object name
scope Integer -> Target scope (default= current sheet)
Result Collection <- Existing names in the defined scope

Description

The VP Get names command returns a collection of all defined "names" in the current sheet or in the scope designated by the scope parameter.

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

You can define where to get the names in scope using either the sheet index (counting begins at 0) or the following constants:

  • vk current sheet
  • vk workbook

Returned collection

The returned collection contains one object per name. The following object properties can be returned:

Property Type Description
result[ ].name Text cell or range name
result[ ].formula Text formula
result[ ].comment Text Comment associated to the name

Available properties depend on the type of the named element (named cell, named range, or named formula).

Example

var $list : Collection


$list:=VP Get names("ViewProArea";2) //names in 3rd sheet

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.
