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

social-scrape 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Social scrape

Collect what specific accounts and specific topics are actually saying, using the subio-scrape MCP tools, and hand back either a chat summary or a document.

Every read happens in a local browser that is never signed in. Say so if the user asks whether it will touch their account: it does not, it clears session cookies before every run, and it does not solve challenges or disguise itself as a human. That is also the reason for the ceiling in step 2 — work within it rather than around it.

1. Find out what to read

If the user already named accounts, a topic or a hashtag, skip straight to step 2.

Otherwise ask with AskUserQuestion — one question, these options:

  • Accounts — specific people or companies on X
  • Topic or hashtag — a subject, wherever it is being discussed
  • A company — one organisation across X and LinkedIn
  • Open discussion — what Hacker News is saying

Then ask for the handles or the topic itself in a normal follow-up question. Also settle how far back (default: last 7 days) and how many items per source (default: 20) unless the user already said.

2. Pick the right tool for each kind

This is the part that decides whether the scan works, so read it before calling anything.

The user wants Call Why this and not something else
Named X accounts x_account_posts Signed out, X serves account timelines in full, with exact counts
A topic or hashtag on X x_account_posts with match: ["term", "#tag"] over the accounts likely to discuss it X does not serve search, hashtags or explore to a signed-out browser. There is no search tool because there is no signed-out search. Reading the accounts and filtering is the way
A topic, hashtag or discussion generally hackernews_search Hacker News publishes discussion openly through a real API — no browser, no session, no ceiling
A company linkedin_page for the profile, x_account_posts for what it posts LinkedIn's public page carries the firmographics; X carries the posting
A company's posts linkedin_company_posts Best effort — LinkedIn often withholds these signed out

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.
