read

read is a command for coding agents from statzhero/zotero-fulltext. It costs 11 tokens per session (138 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for reading numbered paragraphs from the indexed full text of one Zotero library item. Zotero is a tool for collecting and organising research papers and references.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you have a Zotero citekey and need the paper's numbered paragraphs without a summary.
Why use it?
It avoids needing to retrieve and inspect the whole paper when you need its exact paragraphs. It also makes missing items or unavailable full text clear.

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/statzhero/zotero-fulltext/read
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/statzhero/zotero-fulltext

Or install zotero, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 4 skills, 4 commands, 1 MCP server.

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

read 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.

What it actually says

Use the Zotero MCP server to read indexed fulltext for this citekey:

$ARGUMENTS

Rules:

  • If the user did not provide a citekey, ask for one citekey.
  • Use the Zotero fulltext tool.
  • Return the numbered paragraphs from the tool result.
  • Do not summarize unless the user also asked for a summary.
  • If the item is missing or has no indexed fulltext, say that clearly without inventing content.
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.
