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

dev-to-cli scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What it actually says

<quick_start> The dev_to CLI follows this pattern:

</quick_start>

This file contains complete command syntax, all arguments, all options, and usage instructions for every command. Never guess at command syntax.

<reference_index> usage.json — Complete command tree with arguments, options, defaults, and usage instructions for every command. </reference_index>

<success_criteria>

  • Command executes without error
  • Output is displayed in requested format
  • Correct command and flags used (verified against usage.json) </success_criteria>

Changes

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.
