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

securetools copilot-instructions.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 1mo 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

Copilot Instructions for SecureTools

Project Identity

SecureTools is a zero-tracking, zero-backend collection of browser tools. Everything runs client-side. The stack is vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no frameworks, no build step, no npm.

Absolute Rules

  • No frameworks (React, Vue, jQuery, Tailwind, etc.)
  • No build tools (Webpack, Vite, etc.)
  • No package.json or node_modules
  • No server-side code or API calls with user input
  • No inline JavaScript in HTML — all JS in external .js files loaded with defer
  • No Math.random() — use crypto.getRandomValues() for any randomness
  • Every CDN <script> must have integrity (SRI hash) and crossorigin="anonymous"

Code Style

  • HTML: 2-space indent, semantic elements, lang="en", <label> for every <input>
  • CSS: shared styles in /assets/styles.css (absolute path). Brand blue: #2d9cdb
  • JS: 'use strict' on line 1. const/let only. addEventListener for all events. Small named functions.
  • Commits: Conventional Commits format — feat(scope):, fix(scope):, docs:, style(scope):

Adding a New Tool

  1. Copy tool-template/ to <tool-name>/ at repo root
  2. Replace all placeholders in index.html and script.js
  3. Link /assets/styles.css with an absolute path
  4. Set <script src="/<tool-name>/script.js" defer>
  5. Add a tile to index.html (home page)
  6. Add a row to the tools table in README.md

Every tool page has exactly:

<nav>
  <a href="/" aria-label="SecureTools Home">Home</a>
  <a href="/about.html" aria-label="About SecureTools">About</a>
</nav>

File References

  • Shared CSS: /assets/styles.css (always absolute)
  • Tool script: /<tool-name>/script.js (always absolute, always defer)
  • See AGENTS.md for the full specification
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.
