hello

hello is a command for coding agents from kronotop/kronotop. It costs 12 tokens per session (806 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A connection-handshake command for selecting the RESP2 or RESP3 communication format and optionally logging in. RESP is the data format used between a client and the server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when opening a connection, choosing RESP2 or RESP3, authenticating with a username and password, or naming the client.
Why use it?
It establishes how the current connection exchanges data and can combine protocol selection with authentication and a client name.

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

hello 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Negotiates the protocol version and optionally authenticates the connection.

Syntax

HELLO protover [AUTH username password] [SETNAME clientname]

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
protover integer Yes Protocol version to use (2 for RESP2, 3 for RESP3)
AUTH username password string, string No Optional inline authentication
SETNAME clientname string No Optional client connection name

Return Value

Returns connection metadata in a format determined by the negotiated protocol version:

  • RESP2: Array of alternating key-value pairs.
  • RESP3: Map.
Field Type Description
server string Server product name (Kronotop)
version string Server version
proto integer Negotiated protocol version
id integer Client connection ID
mode string Server mode (cluster)
role string Server role (master)
modules array Loaded modules (empty array)

Behavior

Sets the RESP protocol version for the current session. If AUTH is provided, authenticates the connection using the same logic as the AUTH command. If SETNAME is provided, sets the client connection name.

The protocol version is applied after the response is generated, so the response itself is encoded using the newly negotiated version.

This command does not require the cluster to be initialized.

Errors

Error Condition
NOPROTO Unsupported protocol version (not 2 or 3)
WRONGPASS Invalid username or password in the AUTH clause

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.
