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-logs 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Search and query logs via Better Stack Logtail using structured queries. Use for incident investigation, error pattern analysis, and proactive monitoring.

Prerequisites

  • Better Stack MCP server connected with valid API token (Global API Token required for Telemetry)
  • MCP tools execute_query and list_sources available

Steps

  1. Identify log sources

    If a source filter is provided, resolve the source name to a source ID. Otherwise, search across all sources. Call list_sources to see available sources if needed.

  2. Build and execute query

    Call execute_query with the ClickHouse SQL query based on the provided query string. Apply from and to time range filters. Limit results to the specified limit.

  3. Format results

    For each log entry, extract: timestamp, level, message, service, host, and any relevant custom fields.

  4. Identify patterns

    Group results by error type or service. Highlight recurring errors, error rate spikes, or unusual patterns.

  5. Provide investigation context

    Suggest related queries for deeper investigation. Cross-reference with monitor incidents using /incident-triage.

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Default Description
query string Yes Search query (field:value, text search, boolean operators)
source string No all Log source name or ID
from string No last 1 hour Start time (ISO 8601)
to string No now End time (ISO 8601)
limit integer No 100 Maximum number of log entries to return

Examples

Search for Errors

/search-logs --query "level:error"

Search Specific Service

/search-logs --query "level:error AND service:api-gateway" --from "2026-03-27T08:00:00Z"

Search for Specific Error Message

/search-logs --query "\"connection refused\""

Search from a Specific Source

/search-logs --query "level:fatal" --source "Production API"
