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

wikipedia-search 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Wikipedia

Available Tools

  • wikipedia_search(query): Search Wikipedia for articles matching a query.

    • query (string, required): Search query
  • wikipedia_get_article(title, summary_only?): Get content of a Wikipedia article by exact title.

    • title (string, required): Article title (case-sensitive, use exact title from search results)
    • summary_only (boolean, optional, default: false): Return only the summary instead of full text

Usage Guidelines

  • Only English Wikipedia is supported. Translate non-English queries to English before searching.
  • Use wikipedia_search first to find the correct article title, then wikipedia_get_article for full content.
  • Article titles are case-sensitive — use the exact title from search results.
  • Use summary_only=true for quick factual lookups when full article content isn't needed.
  • Wikipedia content is best for background information, definitions, and historical context.

Citation Format

When presenting information from Wikipedia, wrap every specific claim in <cite> tags:

<cite source="Wikipedia: ARTICLE_TITLE" url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARTICLE_TITLE">claim text</cite>

Rules:

  • Cite factual claims, statistics, dates, and specific information from articles.
  • The source attribute should include the article title (e.g., "Wikipedia: Quantum Computing").
  • The url attribute should contain the Wikipedia article URL.
  • Do NOT cite your own reasoning or general knowledge.
  • Use the minimum number of citations necessary to support claims.

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.
