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

vendor-check 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 4d 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.

/vendor-check -- Vendor Agreement Status

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Check the status of existing agreements with a vendor across all connected systems. Provides a consolidated view of the legal relationship.

Important: This command assists with legal workflows but does not provide legal advice. Agreement status reports should be verified against original documents by qualified legal professionals.

Invocation

/vendor-check [vendor name]

If no vendor name is provided, prompt the user to specify which vendor to check.

Workflow

Step 1: Identify the Vendor

Accept the vendor name from the user. Handle common variations:

  • Full legal name vs. trade name (e.g., "Alphabet Inc." vs. "Google")
  • Abbreviations (e.g., "AWS" vs. "Amazon Web Services")
  • Parent/subsidiary relationships

Ask the user to clarify if the vendor name is ambiguous.

Step 2: Search Connected Systems

Search for the vendor across all available connected systems, in priority order:

CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management) -- If Connected

Search for all contracts involving the vendor:

  • Active agreements
  • Expired agreements (last 3 years)
  • Agreements in negotiation or pending signature
  • Amendments and addenda
CRM -- If Connected

Search for the vendor/account record:

  • Account status and relationship type
  • Associated opportunities or deals
  • Contact information for vendor's legal/contracts team
Email -- If Connected

Search for recent relevant correspondence:

  • Contract-related emails (last 6 months)
  • NDA or agreement attachments
  • Negotiation threads
Documents (e.g., Box, Egnyte, SharePoint) -- If Connected

Search for:

  • Executed agreements
  • Redlines and drafts
  • Due diligence materials
Chat (e.g., Slack, Teams) -- If Connected

Search for recent mentions:

  • Contract requests involving this vendor
  • Legal questions about the vendor
  • Relevant team discussions (last 3 months)
