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

amazon-catalog-cli 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 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.

What it actually says

Catalog CLI Pro

Agent-native Amazon catalog auditing tool. Analyzes Category Listing Reports (CLR files) for quality issues across 13 checks.

Architecture

Three-layer design:

  • Core (catalog/core/) — engine, parser, models, validation, query engine, schema
  • Surfaces (catalog/surfaces/) — CLI (cli.py) and MCP server (mcp.py)
  • Queries (catalog/queries/) — 13 query plugins, each implements QueryPlugin.execute(listings, clr_parser)
  • API (api/) — FastAPI hosted service (local only, NOT pushed to public GitHub)

Key Patterns

  • Pydantic models for all request/response shapes (core/models.py)
  • Query plugins are auto-discovered from catalog/queries/
  • CLI uses Click, MCP uses FastMCP (stdio transport)
  • Output formats: terminal (Rich), JSON, CSV, NDJSON
  • Field masking and pagination supported across all surfaces

Commands

catalog scan my-catalog.xlsx           # Full audit
catalog check intent-bullets file.xlsx # Single query
catalog list-queries                   # Available queries
catalog schema                         # Schema introspection
catalog mcp                            # Start MCP server
catalog setup-claude                   # Configure Claude Code integration

Development

pip install -e ".[api]"    # Install with API dependencies
pytest                      # Run tests

Important

  • api/ directory contains the hosted API service — this is NOT pushed to the public GitHub repo
  • site/ directory contains the landing page for catalogcli.com
  • The package on PyPI is amazon-catalog-cli
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.
