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

agent-harness-plugins copilot-rounds-report.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 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.

What it actually says

Copilot rounds report review instructions

These search behaviors are verified against live GitHub search and are intentional:

  • owner: is a valid search qualifier: GitHub issue and pull request search accepts owner:LOGIN for both users and organizations, with the same results as user: and org:. Repeated owner: qualifiers combine with OR, so owner:a owner:b returns pull requests from either. Do not flag the owner-scoped search as incorrect or suggest user:/org: instead.
  • author:@me, bot authors and sort:created-asc resolve as written: @me names the authenticated user, author:NAME[bot] and author:app/NAME return the same pull requests, and sort:created-asc orders results by creation time. Owner and author values are validated as single logins before they reach the search string.
  • The High share is a share of rated findings, and says so: the findings-per-round table divides High findings by the findings that carry a severity badge and prints that denominator ("of N"). Findings without a recognized badge lower N rather than skewing the share, and the report warns when badge and finding counts disagree. Do not flag the share as misstating severity when N differs from the findings count.
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.
