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

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 18d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Live Search (Grok)

Real-time web + news search with AI-summarized results and citations. Flat $0.081 per call on Base ($0.08 + $0.001 network fee; $0.08 on Solana), at any max_results — verified against live 402 quotes 2026-10-06. Best for fresh queries; for semantic / neural research use blockrun_exa instead.

How to Call from MCP

blockrun_search({ body: {
  query: "what's the consensus on the Fed's next move",
  sources: ["web", "news"],
  max_results: 10
}})

Body Shape

Field Required Type Notes
query yes string Natural-language search query
sources no string[] Subset of ["web","news"]. Default: ["web"] — pass both for news coverage. There is no X/Twitter source (removed upstream 2026-07-05; asking for "x" is refused before payment). Does NOT multiply price.
max_results no number 1–50, default 10. Does not change the price — ask for as many sources as the question needs.
from_date no string YYYY-MM-DD lower bound on result date
to_date no string YYYY-MM-DD upper bound

When to Reach for Which Source

User intent sources setting
Breaking news / today's headlines ["news"]
Social / X sentiment not served — there is no X source; use ["news","web"] and say so, or blockrun_exa for a targeted crawl
Backgrounder / explainer / docs ["web"]
General "find current info" question ["web","news"] (omitting it searches the web only)

Worked Examples

1. "What's the latest on the ETH ETF approval timeline?"

blockrun_search({ body: { query: "Ethereum ETF approval SEC", sources: ["news","web"], max_results: 8 } })

Cost: $0.081.

2. "What happened in Solana's latest outage?"

blockrun_search({ body: { query: "Solana outage today", sources: ["news","web"], max_results: 15 } })

Cost: $0.081. There is no X/Twitter source: sources: ["x"] is refused before payment with the live list, so do not promise "what X is saying" — say what the news and web say.

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.
