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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00477	$0.00477
Opus 5.5	$0.00191	$0.00191
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00095	$0.00095
Haiku 4.5	$0.00048	$0.00048

Measured today against content hash e621b5720b16, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade B, and why

rudycanshoot CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Install optional: `sudo apt install scrot` or `sudo apt install grim` (Wayland). `xwd` + `ffmpeg` often already enough on X11.

What it actually says

rudycanshoot

This is the rudycanshoot project — an MCP server that lets AI assistants take and view screenshots.

MCP Tools Available

Tool	Description
`take_screenshot`	Capture fullscreen, active window, or a region
`read_screenshot`	Read a saved screenshot as base64 for viewing
`list_screenshots`	List recent captures with timestamps and paths
`record_video`	Record a temporary screen video; returns frames for AI viewing
`record_terminal`	Record a TERMINAL SESSION (a running command) as a GIF — no desktop, works headless
`read_video`	Extract frames from a video so the AI can watch it

Development Commands

npm install          # install dependencies
node bin/rudycanshoot.js serve    # start MCP server (stdio)
node bin/rudycanshoot.js capture  # take a screenshot from CLI
node bin/rudycanshoot.js install --all  # configure all AI tools

Key Files

src/screenshot.js — platform-specific capture logic (Linux/macOS/Windows)
src/webcam.js — one-frame webcam capture (v4l2 / dshow, incl. WSL2 via Windows ffmpeg.exe)
src/server.js — MCP server with tool definitions
src/install.js — auto-installer for AI tools
bin/rudycanshoot.js — CLI entry point

Screenshot Backends (Linux, in priority order)

Silent tools only (no portal permission popups):

grim (Wayland)
scrot / maim / import (X11)
xwd + ffmpeg → PNG (X11 built-in path)
ffmpeg x11grab single frame
WSL → Windows PowerShell (fallback)

Install optional: sudo apt install scrot or sudo apt install grim (Wayland). xwd + ffmpeg often already enough on X11.

Video (silent only): ffmpeg x11grab → wf-recorder → screenshot-frame encode. Never portal ScreenCast.

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.
