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 C, and why

azure-functions scanned grade C with 2 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-config.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Azure Functions

Table of Contents

Overview

Azure Functions enables serverless computing on Microsoft Azure. Build event-driven applications with automatic scaling, flexible bindings to various Azure services, and integrated monitoring through Application Insights.

When to Use

  • HTTP APIs and webhooks
  • Message-driven processing (Service Bus, Event Hub)
  • Scheduled jobs and CRON expressions
  • File and blob processing
  • Queue-based workflows
  • Real-time data processing
  • Microservices and backend logic
  • Integration with Azure ecosystem services

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# Install Azure Functions Core Tools
curl https://aka.ms/install-artifacts-ubuntu.sh | bash

# Login to Azure
az login

# Create resource group
az group create --name myapp-rg --location eastus

# Create storage account (required for Functions)
az storage account create \
  --name myappstore \
  --location eastus \
  --resource-group myapp-rg \
  --sku Standard_LRS

# Create Function App
az functionapp create \
  --resource-group myapp-rg \
  --consumption-plan-location eastus \
  --runtime node \
  --runtime-version 18 \
  --functions-version 4 \
  --name myapp-function \
  --storage-account myappstore
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

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.
