In plain words

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

paylocity scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 19d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Paylocity (via Apideck)

Access Paylocity through Apideck's HRIS unified API — one of 58 HRIS connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to BambooHR, Workday, Deel and 54 other HRIS connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant Paylocity plumbing.

Quick facts

At a glance

  • Implementation difficulty: involved — Vendor-Issued Credentials + Partner Agreement Needed for a Sandbox
  • Vendor partnership required: yes (Paylocity Technology Partner programme) — Signing the Marketplace Partner Agreement unlocks sandbox credentials and, later, a Paylocity Marketplace listing.
  • Apideck-managed credentials: not available — Each consumer supplies the credentials Paylocity issues to their own company.
  • Account type required: A Paylocity customer company with API access enabled.
  • Consumer access level: A company admin of the consumer's Paylocity company.
  • Sandbox: available (signup) — Open to existing Paylocity customers, or to partners once the agreement is signed.
  • Costs: Not published; Paylocity quotes integration and API pricing through the Paylocity account executive.
  • Rate limits: Set per endpoint by Paylocity; no single headline figure is published.
  • Authentication: Client credentials flow; each connection also needs the consumer's Paylocity Company ID.
  • Webhooks: Virtual webhooks - employee created and updated events

Important to know:

  • Paylocity issues API credentials by hand: each consumer requests a Client ID and Secret through their Paylocity account executive or [email protected], so when a connection can go live depends on Paylocity, not on you.

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.
