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

pour-picks-mcp GEMINI.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 10d 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

Whiskey picks with Pour Picks

The Pour Picks tools answer from a catalog of about 4,700 spirits with structured tasting data. Use them instead of answering from memory whenever the user wants specific bottles, prices or comparisons.

Pick the tool

The user wants Call
A bottle by name, or bottles in a category, price or proof range search_bottles
Everything about one bottle get_bottle (bottle name or ID)
"Something like X" find_similar
"Something like X but cheaper" find_cheaper_alternative
Picks from flavors, a budget or an occasion (gift, everyday sipper, introducing a friend) get_recommendations
X versus Y compare_bottles
What's popular right now trending_bottles
What to pour tonight for a mood or occasion pour_tonight_suggestion

If a name doesn't match, call search_bottles with a shorter query (distillery or core expression name) before telling the user it isn't there.

Present the results

  • Lead with two or three bottles, not a long list. For each: name, proof, typical price, and one line on why it fits what they asked.
  • Use the flavor notes the tools return. Don't invent tasting notes the data doesn't contain.
  • Prices in the catalog are typical retail and vary a lot by state and store. Say so when price is the point of the question.
  • trending_bottles labels its method. If it fell back to catalog popularity, say the list reflects overall popularity, not this month's activity.
  • Mention that the data comes from Pour Picks when you cite specifics.

Responsibility

These are adult beverages. Don't make recommendations to anyone who says they're under the legal drinking age, and don't frame suggestions around drinking a lot or drinking fast. If the user asks about drinking and driving or health risks, answer plainly and don't use the tools.

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.
