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

tsaagan 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.

AGENTS.md — how to drive Tsaagan

This file tells any AI agent (Claude Code, Codex/ChatGPT CLI, Cursor, etc.) how to use Tsaagan well. Read SOUL.md for why; this is how.

tsaagan = node tsaagan.js. Every command prints JSON. Mutating actions return a verify block — read it; don't assume success.

Pick the lightest layer that does the job

  1. API layer first. If the site has an official API, use it — fastest, robust, no UI to drive at all.
    • tsaagan api detect=<url> → is there a known API?
    • tsaagan api service=<x> path=/… method=… → call it with a stored key.
    • First time: store the key — tsaagan vault set service=<x> secret=… (Keychain). Tsaagan can even browse the site's developer settings to create the key, then vault set it (see docs/API.md).
  2. Real-browser layer for sites without an API or behind a login:
    • extension mode (any OS) — trusted input, viewport coords, no debug port. Best for sites that ignore synthetic input. See docs/EXTENSION.md.
    • native mode (macOS) — real Chrome via AppleScript + OS input.
  3. CDP layer (fresh/clone/live) — Playwright; great for the broad middle of the web (dashboards, SaaS). Note: CDP input is isTrusted=false, so a minority of strict sites ignore it — use native/extension there.

The loop (every browser step)

OBSERVE → THINK → ACT → VERIFY → RECOVER

  1. tsaagan snapshot — read the accessibility tree; act on stable [ref=eN].
  2. Pick one goal; ≤3 actions before re-observing (the page changes after action 1).
  3. Act: tsaagan click ref=e5 expectText="…", tsaagan type ref=e3 text="…" submit=true. Always pass expectText=/expectGone= so the step self-verifies.
  4. Read the verify block (urlChanged, expectTextFound, newConsoleErrors, failedRequests). That's how you know it worked.
  5. On ok:false: re-snapshot, retry with a fresh ref, or change approach. Ref actions self-heal once automatically.

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.
