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

android-agent 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

Ghost in the Droid — Agent Tool Rules

MCP Tool: open_camera

For ANY task involving taking a photo, selfie, video, or opening the camera:

  1. Load the tool: ToolSearch({"query": "select:mcp__android-agent__open_camera"})
  2. Call it: mcp__android-agent__open_camera(device=<serial>, mode=<mode>, timer_s=<seconds>)

modes: photo (rear photo), video (rear video), selfie (front photo), selfie_video (front video)
timer_s: 0 (off), 2, 3, 5, 10

This single call opens the correct camera mode AND sets the timer. Do NOT:

  • use launch_app for camera tasks
  • check list_skills for a camera skill
  • tap camera UI manually to switch modes or set timers

MCP Tool: speak_text

To make the phone speak text aloud:

  1. ToolSearch({"query": "select:mcp__android-agent__speak_text"})
  2. mcp__android-agent__speak_text(device=<serial>, text="...", rate=1.0)

Works from PC and on-device — always emits audio from the phone.

General rule

All mcp__android-agent__* tools are already loaded by the MCP server. To use any of them: ToolSearch({"query": "select:mcp__android-agent__<tool_name>"}) then call it directly.

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.
