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

resolve-media-analysis 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 7d 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

Resolve Media Analysis work. Apply when: reading or analyzing source media (technical, visual, or transcription) to inform Resolve actions.

Two servers — compute offline, apply live:

  • Live (running Resolve, davinci-resolve): media_analysis (analyze_file/clip/bin/project, commit_vision, summarize, review_timeline_markers)
  • Offline (.drp/.drt/.drx + DB, no Resolve, davinci-resolve-advanced): media (ingest_verify, media_inventory, sync) on the advanced server
  • Key rule: Source media is READ-ONLY — never modify/transcode/convert/derive. Do not silently downgrade: keep visuals, transcription, persistence, metadata + Media Pool marker writeback on unless the user opts out. Finish each clip with commit_vision or it stays pending (a failure mode).

Depth: docs/kernels/README.md + docs/guides/media-analysis-guide.md. On-demand in any MCP client: the /analyze_media slash prompt. Portable skill: resolve-media-analysis in .agents/skills/. Never modify/transcode/derive source media (AGENTS.md).

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.
