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

tail-events scanned grade A 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 9d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

curl -s "http://localhost:4820/api/events?limit=${N}" | jq -r '.[] | "\(.timestamp)\t\(.event_type)\t\(.tool_name // "-")"'

What it actually says

Show the most recent events from the Agent Monitor dashboard. Argument: $ARGUMENTSN, the number of events to show (default 20).

Fetch recent events and take the newest N:

N="${1:-20}"
curl -s "http://localhost:4820/api/events?limit=${N}" | jq -r '.[] | "\(.timestamp)\t\(.event_type)\t\(.tool_name // "-")"'

The /api/events list is returned newest-first; show the most recent N. Render a compact, aligned table — one row per event:

TIME                  EVENT_TYPE     TOOL_NAME
2026-06-25T14:03:11Z  PostToolUse    Bash
2026-06-25T14:03:09Z  PreToolUse     Bash
2026-06-25T14:02:58Z  Stop           -

Include event_type (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, Notification, Compaction, APIError, TurnDuration) and tool_name when present (use - for events without a tool). End with a one-line count: Showing latest <N> events.

If the request returns a non-200 or empty body, say so and tell the user to start the dashboard with npm start from the repo root. Read-only — never POST or modify events.

Changes

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.
