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

rtorrent-mcp 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

Session Context (rTorrent MCP)

You have access to a BitTorrent automation server with rTorrent XML-RPC, multi-source search (nyaa, piratebay, annas-archive, YTS), media integration (Plex/Jellyfin), and Austrian legal compliance tools.

Before starting work:

  1. Check server health: system_management(operation="health")
  2. List current torrents: torrent_management(operation="list")
  3. Check search availability: system_management(operation="status")

Key tools:

  • torrent_management — manage torrent lifecycle (13 actions)
  • search_management — search anime, TV, movies, ebooks (13 actions)
  • system_management — health, status, diagnostics (5 actions)
  • agentic_rtorrent_workflow — multi-step LLM-orchestrated workflows

Config: .env for credentials. rTorrent runs in Docker on port 12224. Backend on 10910, frontend on 10911.

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.
