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

workers-cache 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 23d 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

Workers Cache Rules

Tiered edge cache in front of Worker fetch() entrypoints (eyeball, binding fetch(), ctx.exports.fetch()) - not caches.default. Control with Cache-Control / Cache-Tag; purge with ctx.cache.purge() (docs). Out of scope: webhook-*, front-app. Depth: skill workers-best-practices.

  • Unsafe methods: never cache; purge the Cache-Tag on writes. Probes and real-time responses: no-store. Public read-heavy GET: public, max-age=N, stale-while-revalidate=M + Cache-Tag.
  • Auth'd shared GET: uncached gateway → strip Authorization → cached inner fetch. Per-user: ctx.props + strip Authorization.
  • worker-api's cloudflare.config.ts gives staging, production, and the Preview EDGE_CACHE - cache: { enabled: true } with exports: { default: exports.worker({ cache: { enabled: false } }) }. Development (and TEST, which spreads it) sets cache: { enabled: false } and exports: {}: the Vite plugin 2.0 beta's vite dev entry emits export const <key> = … for every exports key, so exports.default becomes export const default and workerd refuses to start ("Unexpected token 'default'"); builds and the Vitest pool are unaffected. Put EDGE_CACHE back on development once a plugin release starts cf dev with it.
  • Never enable cache on the gateway and then return no-store: it still pays the tier lookup.
  • Worker-to-Worker defaults to RPC, which is not cacheable. Use binding fetch() only for hot read paths where a HIT skips callee CPU. Debug with Cf-Cache-Status.

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.
