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

legalithm-eu-ai-act 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 12d 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

EU AI Act rules (Legalithm)

This project ships AI into the EU, so the EU AI Act applies. When you add or change AI features:

  • Classify first. Use the legalithm MCP classify tool to determine the risk tier (unacceptable / high / limited / minimal) before building.
  • Article 50 transparency. For user-facing AI (chatbots, generated content, deepfakes, emotion recognition), add a transparency disclosure. Generate one with the generate_disclosure tool — don't hand-write legal text.
  • Frame outputs as checked against Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 — not legal advice. Never claim "instant compliance" or "compliant by default."
  • Map to named obligations, not fear copy. Use explain_obligation for the actual duties (with Article citations), e.g. Article 9 risk management, Article 10 data governance.
  • Keep the record current. compliance/legalithm.json is the committed compliance record. Run npx legalithm check before shipping; if it reports drift, re-run init and review.

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.
