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

explain 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 9d 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 ai901-cert-buddy subagent to explain this AI-901 concept: $ARGUMENTS

Approach:

  1. Ground the explanation in Microsoft Learn first via the ai901buddy-mslearn MCP server.
  2. Lead with a plain-language mental model a beginner gets on the first pass. Define each term the first time it appears.
  3. Layer the exam-relevant detail on top of the simple version. Tie it to the AI-901 objective it belongs to.
  4. End with two or three Microsoft Learn URLs to go deeper, and one likely exam angle on the concept.

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.
