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

abs-mcp CLAUDE.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 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.

Curated datasets

LF · CPI (quarterly, cat 6401.0, headline inflation) · CPI_MONTHLY (monthly indicator with sub-categories + cities) · WPI · PPI_FD · JV · AWE · ANA_AGG · BA_GCCSA · BUILDING_APPROVALS · BUILDING_ACTIVITY (cat 8752.0, quarterly dwelling completions/commencements) · NOM · ABS_NOM_VISA_CY · LEND_HOUSING · ERP_Q · ABS_ANNUAL_ERP_ASGS2021 · C21_G01_POA · C21_G02_SA2 · C21_G02_POA · RT (historical, ceased Jul 2025) · HSI_M (live RT replacement)

CPI ↔ CPI_MONTHLY: the curated CPI dataset uses sdmx_dataflow_id: CPI_Q indirection — customer-facing CPI resolves to ABS's quarterly cat 6401.0 product (so periods join WPI, ANA_AGG, PPI_FD on the quarterly grid). Customers who want the monthly indicator (sub-category breakdown, per-city series, faster cadence) call CPI_MONTHLY which maps to the SDMX CPI dataflow keyed by FREQ=M. NOTE (2026): the old standalone CPI_M indicator dataflow (cat 6484.0) FROZE at 2025-09 when ABS relaunched the complete monthly CPI inside the main CPI dataflow; CPI_MONTHLY was re-pointed at CPI (FREQ=M) in 0.12.1/0.13.0 so it stays current. Do NOT revert to CPI_M.

BUILDING_APPROVALS (leading, monthly, cat 8731.0) ↔ BUILDING_ACTIVITY (trailing, quarterly, cat 8752.0): approvals are the pipeline, activity is the delivered stock (completions). Pair both + NOM for the housing supply-vs-migration story.

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.
