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

search 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 2mo 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

Parameters

  • query (required): The exact term, name, or keyword to search for.

Prerequisites

  • QMD CLI tool must be installed. (If QMD is completely unavailable, gracefully fallback to obsidian search "[query]" and warn the user, or use ripgrep if Obsidian is closed).

Steps

  1. Run qmd search "[query]" --json -n 15 to perform a fast BM25 keyword search.
  2. Parse the JSON results.
  3. Format the results into a markdown table with columns for:
    • File Name (linked)
    • Snippet/Match
    • Relevance Score (if available)
  4. Present the table to the user and ask if they would like to read any of the files in full.

Validation / Success Criteria

  • The user sees a formatted table of search results and can choose to dive deeper.
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.
