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

azureml-examples copilot-instructions.md 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.

Files owned by the AI Platform Docs team

If a file is listed in the CODEOWNERS file with @azure/ai-platform-docs as the owner, it is owned by the AI Platform Docs team. For these files:

  • Do not change the filename or move the file.
  • Do not remove any comments which contain <some_text> or </some_text> (for any text in between the tags)
  • Do not remove any cell in a notebook if it contains metadata with "name:" in it.
  • If you need to make any of the above changes, you must first contact the AI Platform Docs team. Their approval is required before making such changes.
  • You can reach the team on the Teams channel ai-platform-docs.

Only files owned by the AI Platform Docs team are subject to these rules.

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.
