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

recall-update scanned grade C with 2 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Manually trigger a Recall plugin update, or toggle auto-update on/off.

Instructions

1. Detect install type

Check whether this is a plugin install or a curl|bash install:

[[ "${HOME}/.claude/plugins/recall/scripts/session-start.sh" -ef "$(which recall 2>/dev/null || true)" ]] \
  && echo "plugin" || true
ls "${HOME}/.claude/plugins/recall/scripts/session-start.sh" 2>/dev/null && echo "plugin" || echo "curl"

If the file exists at ~/.claude/plugins/recall/scripts/, it is a plugin install. Otherwise it is a curl|bash install with scripts at ~/.claude/recall/hooks/.

2. Trigger the update

Plugin install: Tell the user to run /plugin install recall in Claude Code — this re-installs the plugin at the latest version.

curl|bash install: Read RECALL_SERVER_URL from ~/.claude/recall/config.json (default: https://recallmcp.com), then run:

RECALL_SERVER_URL="$(python3 -c "import json; d=json.load(open('${HOME}/.claude/recall/config.json')); print(d.get('server_url','https://recallmcp.com'))" 2>/dev/null || echo "https://recallmcp.com")"
RECALL_API_KEY="$(python3 -c "import json; d=json.load(open('${HOME}/.claude/recall/config.json')); print(d.get('api_key',''))" 2>/dev/null || echo "")"
curl -fsSL "${RECALL_SERVER_URL}/install-hooks" | bash -s -- --api-key "${RECALL_API_KEY}" --server-url "${RECALL_SERVER_URL}"

After the update completes, tell the user to restart Claude Code for the new hooks to take effect.

3. Show current version info (optional)

# Plugin: read from plugin.json
python3 -c "import json; d=json.load(open('${HOME}/.claude/plugins/recall/.claude-plugin/plugin.json')); print('Installed:', d.get('version','?'))" 2>/dev/null || true

# curl|bash: read from config.json
python3 -c "import json; d=json.load(open('${HOME}/.claude/recall/config.json')); print('Installed:', d.get('version','?'))" 2>/dev/null || true

# Available: check state.json
python3 -c "import json; d=json.load(open('${HOME}/.claude/recall/state.json')); print('Available:', d.get('available_version', 'up to date'))" 2>/dev/null || true

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.
