balance

A command that checks the balance and spending information for an authenticated RunAPI account. RunAPI is a service that provides access to models and tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps check the current RunAPI balance and spending metrics.
Why use it?
It avoids needing to find account usage information manually and explains what to do if authentication is missing.

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

balance 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

RunAPI Balance

Call mcp__runapi__check_balance.

If the tool returns an API key error, call or recommend the RunAPI login tool for browser login. For headless hosts, explain RUNAPI_API_KEY or ~/.config/runapi/config.json. Do not ask for the user's API key in chat. Do not print raw JSON unless the user asks.

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.
