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

hal-voice-toggle 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

Toggle the hal-voice plugin on or off by flipping enabled in config.json.

Run this command:

python3 -c "
import json
from pathlib import Path

config_path = Path('${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}') / 'config.json'
try:
    config = json.loads(config_path.read_text())
except (FileNotFoundError, json.JSONDecodeError):
    config = {}

config['enabled'] = not config.get('enabled', True)
config_path.write_text(json.dumps(config, indent=2))
state = 'enabled' if config['enabled'] else 'disabled'
print(f'hal-voice: sounds {state}')
"

Print the output to the user exactly as returned.

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.
