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

paperclip 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 10d 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.

Paperclip

Open-source orchestration for zero-human companies. If OpenClaw is an employee, Paperclip is the company.

When to Use

  • Orchestrating multiple AI agents toward a shared business goal
  • Running autonomous agent teams with org charts, budgets, and governance
  • Managing agent assignments, delegation, and status tracking via heartbeats
  • Setting up cost controls and audit trails for multi-agent workflows
  • Coordinating OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any heartbeat-capable agent

How It Works

Paperclip is a Node.js server and React UI that acts as a control plane for AI agent teams:

  1. Define the goal — "Build the #1 AI note-taking app to $1M MRR."
  2. Hire the team — CEO, CTO, engineers, designers, marketers — any bot, any provider.
  3. Approve and run — Review strategy. Set budgets. Hit go. Monitor from the dashboard.

Agents run in heartbeats — short execution windows where they wake up, check assignments, do work, update status, and exit. Delegation flows up and down the org chart.

Features

  • Bring Your Own Agent — Any agent, any runtime, one org chart. If it can receive a heartbeat, it's hired.
  • Goal Alignment — Every task traces back to the company mission. Agents know what to do and why.
  • Heartbeats — Agents wake on a schedule, check work, and act. Delegation flows up and down the org chart.
  • Cost Control — Monthly budgets per agent. When they hit the limit, they stop. No runaway costs.
  • Multi-Company — One deployment, many companies. Complete data isolation. One control plane.
  • Ticket System — Every conversation traced. Every decision explained. Full tool-call tracing and immutable audit log.
  • Governance — You're the board. Approve hires, override strategy, pause or terminate any agent at any time.
  • Org Chart — Hierarchies, roles, reporting lines. Agents have a boss, a title, and a job description.
  • Mobile Dashboard — Manage autonomous businesses from your phone.

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.
