vp-get-value

A command for retrieving the value from a designated cell range in a 4D spreadsheet or database interface. It returns the first cell's value, including supported text, number, Boolean, date, or object values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read a cell or range, retrieve the value of the first cell in multiple ranges, or obtain date and time information.
Why use it?
It gives code a direct way to read cell data and handles empty cells and date or time results according to the command's rules.

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-value 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.

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 value ( rangeObj : Object ) : Object

Parameter Type Description
rangeObj Object -> Range object
Result Object <- Object containing a cell value

Description

The VP Get value command retrieves a cell value from a designated cell range.

In rangeObj, pass a range whose value you want to retrieve.

Returned object

The object returned will contain the value property, and, in case of a js date value, a time property:

Property Type Description
value Integer, Real, Boolean, Text, Date, Object Value in the rangeObj (except- time)
time Real Time value (in seconds) if the value is of the js date type

If the object returned includes a date or time, it is treated as a datetime and completed as follows:

  • time value - the date portion is completed as December 30, 1899 in dd/MM/yyyy format (30/12/1899)
  • date value - the time portion is completed as midnight in HH:mm:ss format (00:00:00)

If rangeObj contains multiple cells or multiple ranges, the value of the first cell is returned. The command returns a null object if the cell is empty.

Example

$cell:=VP Cell("ViewProArea";5;2)
$value:=VP Get value($cell)
If(Value type($value.value)=Is text)
    VP SET VALUE($cell;New object("value";Uppercase($value.value)))
End if

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.
