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

xero 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 yesterday.

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 — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Xero (via Apideck)

Access Xero through Apideck's Accounting unified API — one of 34 Accounting connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to Access Financials, Acumatica, banqUP and 30 other Accounting connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant Xero plumbing.

Quick facts

At a glance

  • Implementation difficulty: moderate — Self-Service OAuth + App Partner Certification Required to Scale
  • Vendor partnership required: yes (Xero App Partner Program) — App Partner Program certification is mandatory from the Plus tier and to list on the Xero App Store; Starter and Core tiers need no approval.
  • Apideck-managed credentials: available — Apideck's certified Xero app, intended for testing: OAuth shows "Apideck" as the requesting application. Use your own Xero app in production.
  • Account type required: Any active Xero subscription
  • Consumer access level: Standard or Adviser level user (Admin recommended for full data access)
  • Sandbox: available (signup) — Free via Xero Developer Portal (demo company included).
  • Costs: Free Starter tier; Core ~$22, Plus ~$152, Advanced ~$895 USD/month by connection count; Enterprise custom; plus per-GB egress overage. Effective March 2, 2026.
  • Rate limits: 60 calls/minute and 5 concurrent calls per organisation; daily cap of 1,000 calls on Starter and 5,000 on Core and above; 10,000 calls/minute app-wide.
  • Authentication: Authorization Code flow.
  • Webhooks: Native — invoice and bill events (created and updated).

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.
