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

ToolMux CLAUDE.md scanned grade A 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 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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

- **Transport abstraction**: `HttpMcpClient` instances and `subprocess.Popen` instances are both stored in `self.server_processes` and differentiated via `isinstance()` checks.

CLAUDE.md - ToolMux

Project Overview

ToolMux is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server aggregation tool that achieves ~98.65% token reduction by exposing 4 meta-tools instead of loading hundreds of individual tool schemas upfront. It supports both stdio and HTTP/SSE transports.

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.
