update

An updater for the installed reolink-cli and reolink-gateway programs that checks for and installs the latest release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to upgrade the programs, report versions before and after the upgrade, and support a public release repository, a mirror, or a private repository. Windows requires a manual download or reinstall.
Why use it?
It keeps the tools current and does nothing when the installed version is already up to date.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

update 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 2d 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

Upgrade the installed binaries to the latest release.

  1. Run the built-in updater:

    reolink-cli self-update --yes
    

    It checks the latest GitHub release, compares against the installed version, and — if newer — downloads the archive for this platform and replaces both reolink-cli and reolink-gateway in place. If already current it prints already up to date and does nothing. Stop a running gateway first (pkill reolink-gateway on Unix; Stop-Process -Name reolink-gateway on Windows) so the binary file isn't locked.

  2. Report the pre- and post-upgrade version (reolink-cli --version).

Notes:

  • self-update targets the public GitHub release. Set REOLINK_UPDATE_REPO (owner/repo) to point at a fork/mirror, or GITHUB_TOKEN for a private repo.
  • Windows self-update is not wired (it fetches .tar.gz); on Windows, download the latest ...-windows-x86_64.zip from the Releases page and extract bin\ over the installed copy, or re-run install.ps1 from a fresh tarball.
  • Re-run reolink-cli completions … after upgrading if you use shell completion.
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.
