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

docs-plain-language 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to docs-plain-language — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 43 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plain-language documentation

When editing Markdown (README, docs/, SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, ADRs, memory bank, example YAML comments):

Goal

A new operator or contributor should understand what to do and what happens without decoding project slang.

Keep (widely used or project-defined once)

  • Standard product terms after a short gloss: MCP, Bearer token, principal, principal identifier, http-auth, Telegram, MTProto, ACL
  • Env vars and YAML keys as literals: ACL_ENABLED, allow_mtproto, chats
  • Linked internal names when they are the actual config surface (file paths, tool names)

Avoid or replace

Avoid Prefer
Invented shorthand (bot-like, power profile without table context) Names from SECURITY.md / examples: bot, team_lane, analyst
Phase/version jargon alone (“Phase 2 guardrails”) What changed: “listed principals need allow_mtproto: true for raw MTProto”
Implementation slang without explanation (“synthetic rule”, “empty lane”) Plain outcome: “principal not in principals: is denied” or “listed principal with no chats cannot use chat tools”
-like, -style, “footgun”, “blast radius” in operator runbooks Direct risk: “teammates with the same principal identifier can read login codes”
Stacking nouns (“dual pre/post enforcement”) One sentence: what is checked before the tool runs and what is filtered after

Style

  • Prefer tables for profiles and flags; one row = one audience action.
  • First mention of a restriction: symptom → cause → fix (troubleshooting), not error-code archaeology.
  • Example tokens in tests/docs: use names from acl.yaml.example (automation-token), not cute internal labels.
  • English only; short sentences; active voice (“Set allow_mtproto: true”) over passive stacks.

Quick check before finishing doc edits

  1. Would someone who only runs http-auth understand this without reading session_acl.py?
  2. Did every coined phrase appear in a glossary table or get removed?
  3. Are env vars and YAML keys copy-pasteable and spelled exactly as in code?

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.
