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

send 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 1mo 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 — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/terminal:send

Advanced command — for most tasks, use /terminal:run (one-shot commands), /terminal:repl (database and REPL queries), or /terminal:tui (TUI navigation) instead. Use this command only to send raw keystrokes by hand.

Types text or a named key into a slot, then captures the pane to show what happened.

Usage

/terminal:send [slot] {text}
/terminal:send [slot] key:{Name}

slot defaults to 1, the visible helper pane beside the user. Slot 1 is never the user's own pane.

send-keys Parameter Reference

mcp__plugin_terminal_mux__send-keys({ slot: 1, keys: "...", literal: true, enter: false })

  literal: true  (default)  text is typed byte for byte; nothing is interpreted
  literal: false            keys is a named key from the vocabulary below
  enter: true               press Enter after the text (one call, not two)

send-keys is a creating tool: if the slot is not open yet, it opens it and returns created: true.

mcp__plugin_terminal_mux__send-keys({ slot: 1, keys: "bun test --watch", enter: true })
→ { "slot": 1, "created": true }

How to Use

Send plain text

/terminal:send ls -la src/
/terminal:send 2 SELECT count(*) FROM users LIMIT 1;

Sent with literal: true. Enter is not added; use key:Enter or enter: true.

Send a named key

key: maps to literal: false:

/terminal:send key:Enter
/terminal:send 2 key:Escape
/terminal:send 2 key:C-c

Run a command (text, then Enter)

/terminal:send "bun test --watch"
/terminal:send key:Enter

Or one call: mcp__plugin_terminal_mux__send-keys({ slot: 1, keys: "bun test --watch", enter: true }).

Named Key Vocabulary

These are the names the contract guarantees with literal: false. Anything else passes through to the tmux backend unmapped and is not portable.

Key Name
Enter, Escape, Tab, Space, Backspace Enter, Escape, Tab, Space, BSpace
Arrows Up, Down, Left, Right
Paging PageUp, PageDown, Home, End
Function keys F1 through F12
Ctrl + x C-x (for example C-c, C-d, C-l)
Alt + x M-x

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.
