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 B, and why

apify-ai-search-visibility-tracker scanned grade B 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (reference/scripts/install_cron.sh, reference/scripts/run_snapshot.py, reference/scripts/uninstall_cron.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

AI Search Visibility Tracker

Four workflows covering the full AI visibility lifecycle: discover which prompts matter → find citation opportunities → audit your site → track over time.

All workflows use apify/google-search-scraper for AI search. Workflow C also uses apify/website-content-crawler.

Recommended flow: Run Workflow A to discover prompts → Workflow B to find citation opportunities → Workflow C to audit your site → Workflow D to track everything on a schedule.


Workflow A — Competitor Prompt Discovery

Goal: Find which queries surface a competitor in AI search answers, so you know which prompts are worth monitoring.

Inputs to collect

# Input Notes
1 Competitor domain(s) e.g. brightdata.com, scraperapi.com
2 Seed topic keywords e.g. "web scraping", "data extraction API"
3 AI sources Default: all six (AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini)

Workflow

  1. Generate 15–30 candidate queries from seed keywords using these templates:

    • best [topic], [topic] tools, how to [topic], [topic] for [use case]
    • [topic] vs [competitor brand], [competitor brand] alternative
    • [topic] API, [topic] pricing, [topic] tutorial
  2. Run apify/google-search-scraper for each candidate query. For each result, extract:

    • aiOverview.sources[], aiMode.sources[], chatGptAnswer.sources[], perplexityAnswer.sources[], copilotAnswer.sources[], geminiAnswer.sources[]
    • Also check answer_text / aiOverview.text for competitor brand name mentions (word-boundary match: \bBrand\b)
  3. For each (query, source) pair where the competitor domain or brand appears: record a hit.

  4. Output a prompt-major table sorted by total hit count descending:

| Query | ChatGPT | Perplexity | AI Overviews | AI Mode | Copilot | Gemini | Total |
|-------|---------|------------|--------------|---------|---------|--------|-------|
| "best web scraping API" | ✓ | ✓ | — | ✓ | — | ✓ | 4 |
| "how to scrape Google" | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | 6 |

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.
