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

youtube-shorts-agent AGENTS.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.

Scope

This repo is an agent-first YouTube Shorts upload CLI and MCP server with dry-run defaults.

Commands

  • Syntax check: npm run check
  • Test: npm test
  • Doctor: npm run doctor

  • Privacy audit: npm run privacy

Rules

  • Never commit OAuth credentials, refresh tokens, video assets with private rights, upload logs with private account data, or local config.
  • Keep dry-run behavior the default for agent workflows.
  • Preserve manifest, connection status, privacy audit and metadata checks.
  • Keep synthetic-media metadata behavior explicit.
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.
