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

nano-pdf 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 6d 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

Nano PDF

Extract, analyze, and summarize PDF documents using available tools.

  • First check if the PDF is stored in disp8ch Documents: use documents_search or document_get to retrieve pre-extracted text chunks.
  • For local PDF files: use read_file — disp8ch's file reader extracts text from PDFs automatically.
  • For remote PDFs: use http_request to download the file, then use write_file to save it locally, then read_file to extract text.
  • For large PDFs (>50 pages): process in chunks. Ask the user which sections to focus on, or summarize section by section and produce a rolling summary.
  • Extraction approach: (1) extract raw text, (2) identify structure (title, authors, abstract, sections), (3) summarize each major section.
  • Output format: **PDF:** {filename}\n**Pages:** ~N\n**Abstract/Summary:** ...\n**Key Sections:**\n- {section}: {summary}
  • For academic papers: extract and cite the bibliography. For contracts/legal docs: flag key clauses (obligations, deadlines, limits).
  • Store the extracted summary in memory with the PDF filename as a tag for later recall.

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.
