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

rickbot-adk 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 6d 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.

Project: Rickbot-ADK


IMPORTANT: Run this check at the start of EVERY session!

Google Cloud configuration is achieved through a combination of .env and the scripts/setup-env.sh script. Note that .env is encrypted in the repo using git-encrypt.

Before providing your FIRST response in any conversation, you MUST perform the following steps:

  1. Run printenv GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT to check the environment variable.
  2. Based only on the output of that command, state whether the variable is set.
  3. If it is not set, run scripts/setup-env.sh before resuming the conversation.
  4. Note that the GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT must be set to a value that includes "rickbot". E.g. "rickbot-adk-dev". If it is not, then you are using an incorrect project and will likely encounter errors.

The presence of this environment variable indicates that the script has been run. The absence of this variable indicates that the script has NOT been run.

Note that failures with Google Cloud are likely if this script has not been run. For example, tests will fail. If tests are failing, we should check if the script has been run.

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.
