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

artwork 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 6d 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

Artwork fetch result (JSON):

!"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/media.sh" artwork

  • If the JSON has a path: display the image by using the Read tool on that exact path, then caption it in one markdown line: **<title>** — *<artist>* (run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/media.sh" now with Bash only if you still need the track info).
  • If the JSON is null: the current track has no artwork, or nothing is playing — tell the user which (check media.sh now if unsure).
  • If the command failed: relay the stderr hint briefly. Artwork requires the native helper (the fallback cannot read it) — point to /media:doctor.

The image file lives under $TMPDIR and is overwritten on each call; never paste its contents as base64 into the conversation.

Changes

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.
