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

hades-export-traces 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

Help the user export trace data. The database location depends on what they have installed for this project:

  1. Standalone app (v2, the default today): the SQLite file is in Hades' app storage, not the project folder. The path is platform-specific:

    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Hades/projects/<productGUID>/traces.db
    • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hades\projects\<productGUID>\traces.db

    The project handle hades_status returns for this project is that productGUID.

  2. Legacy Unity package (v1.2), if still installed in this project: the SQLite file is at <project>/.arcforge/traces.db, inside the project itself.

Either way:

  • The database file can be opened with any SQLite client (DB Browser for SQLite, DBeaver, sqlite3 CLI).
  • For sharing: the user can copy the trace database file. It contains all trace and span data.

Tables of interest:

  • traces — top-level trace records (one per MCP tool call)
  • spans — individual spans within traces (nested operations)

Privacy note: traces may contain file paths and query parameters from the project. Review before sharing externally.

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.
