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

blitzreels-clipping 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 10d 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.

BlitzReels Clipping

Use the managed clip state machine. It owns ingest, transcription, selection, layout, captions, QA, repair, and export sequencing.

Steps

  1. Resolve the source as a supported public video URL or workspace asset ID and resolve selection intent. Use a provided time range or suggestion; use automatic best selection only when choice is delegated. Complete when source and selection mode are explicit.
  2. Choose the available surface. Prefer the bundled MCP clips_create tool; otherwise discover the current contract with blitzreels agent-context --command "clips create" --json or the OpenAPI /clips operations. Complete when required inputs, mutation effects, and state fields are known.
  3. Create with a caller-generated idempotency key. Complete when the response contains a clip ID, project ID, state, and next_action.
  4. For MCP batches, follow batch.polling with clips_get. For managed API clips, follow next_action: poll, reselect, repair, export, or stop. Complete each transition only when the next response advances or reaches a terminal state.
  5. When the user retained selection choice, present available alternatives with title, hook, range, duration, and score; reselect the approved ID or range. Complete when the chosen selection is persisted.
  6. Validate layout intent. Tutorial layout is for flattened screen-share plus facecam footage. Interview and podcast footage use automatic, split, or focus layouts. Complete when applied layout and content type agree.
  7. Review QA previews and warnings; run only the repair action offered by current state. Complete when QA passes or the state reports a specific unresolved block.
  8. Start a paid export only after user approval and an export-ready state. Poll to terminal and verify output duration, aspect ratio, captions, framing, and download location.

Manual branch

Use low-level project media, transcript, timeline, caption, and preview operations only when managed state reports a specific block requiring manual control.

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.
