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

syndicate-ingest-rss 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 9d 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

/syndicate-ingest-rss

You are running RSS ingestion. This writes to the DB — only run when the user explicitly asked.

Step 1 — ingest

Default lookback is 1 day. Parse $ARGUMENTS for --days N (default 1) and the boolean --no-fetch flag (default off — only re-parses already-cached HTML instead of hitting the network):

cd "${SYNDICATE_REPO:-$(pwd)}" && uv run python -m pipeline.cli ingest-rss --days ${days:-1} ${no_fetch:+--no-fetch}

Output envelope:

{"ok": true, "result": {"fetched": N, "saved": N, "skipped": N, "failed": N, "errors": []}, "log_path": "logs/<date>.txt"}

Step 2 — report

One line:

✓ rss · fetched=X saved=Y skipped=Z failed=W

If failed > 0 or specific feeds appear in result.errors, list them. A single feed returning 502 / 404 is non-fatal — syndicate's RSS pipeline treats per-feed failures as failed += 1 and continues. Surface the failing feed name so the user can decide whether to remove it from config/rss_sources.json.

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.
