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

amzscout-research 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 12d 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.

AMZScout research

This skill teaches you to orchestrate the granular AMZScout tools yourself: pick the right tool(s), chain them into a workflow, and turn the raw data into a clear seller-facing answer. The tools come from the amzscout MCP server.

If the AMZScout tools are NOT available in this session, say so and stop — do not fabricate Amazon data.

Two ways to use AMZScout

The server exposes both:

  • amzscout-agent — an all-in-one assistant: pass a natural-language message and AMZScout's backend decides which tools to run and returns a finished answer. Use it for a quick, hands-off result when you don't need to control the steps (or to fall back if you're unsure which granular tool fits).
  • The granular amzscout_* tools (below) — the building blocks. Prefer these when you want to control the workflow, chain steps, combine AMZScout with other tools, or show the user your reasoning. This skill is about using these well.

Default to the granular tools for multi-step research; reach for amzscout-agent for one-shot "just answer it" requests.

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.
