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 A, and why

profile-brief scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 23d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Brief me on an Instagram account.

Ask me for the handle if I have not given it, without the @.

Then:

  1. Call hasdata_instagram_profile_getInstagramProfile with that handle.
  2. Branch on what came back. isError means read the error text and tell me which problem it is, a handle that does not resolve, a key that was rejected, or an argument the schema refused. private: true means the account is private, so say that and stop. A success with no latestPosts means there is no public feed to read.
  3. Report username, fullName, followersCount, followsCount, whether it is verified, the biography, and the url from each entry in bioLinks rather than the entry itself, since those carry a redirect wrapper alongside the real address.
  4. Read latestPosts before deciding whether to page. More than twelve posts means paging with nextPageToken, not a bigger limit, because twelve is the ceiling for one call and the first page repeats what the profile already returned.
  5. Summarise the feed from the mix of type and productType, the recurring subjects in the captions, and the accounts that keep appearing in mentions.

Do not rank posts by engagement. This payload has no likes, no comments and no timestamps, so any ordering by popularity would be invented. If I ask for the best-performing post, tell me the data does not carry it.

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.
