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

pgai:checkup 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.

What it actually says

Health check

Run health checks on a Postgres database.

$ARGUMENTS should be a connection string like postgresql://user@host:5432/db

If password is needed, use one of these methods (in order of preference):

  1. .pgpass file (~/.pgpass) - most secure, not visible in process listings
  2. PGPASSFILE environment variable pointing to a password file
  3. PGPASSWORD environment variable (visible in process listings on some systems)
postgresai checkup $ARGUMENTS

Present the report output to the user. Add a brief summary at the end highlighting the most critical issues and recommended next steps.

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.
