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

audit-affiliate-links 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 12d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Operating instructions

You are auditing a publisher's affiliate links. The job has three steps: identify, verify, report.

Accept any of:

  • A pasted list of URLs.
  • A pasted markdown / HTML document — extract every <a href> or [text](url).
  • A sitemap URL or path — read it and extract <loc> entries.

Filter the extracted URLs down to affiliate links by host. The server supports many networks (affiliate_list_networks is the authoritative list); these four have well-known, stable host patterns you can classify by host alone:

  • awin1.com, awin.com, *.awin1.com — Awin.
  • *.dpbolvw.net, *.kqzyfj.com, *.tkqlhce.com, anrdoezrs.net, *.cj.com, *.cjlinks.com — CJ Affiliate.
  • *.impact.com, goto.target.com-style branded vanity hosts that resolve to Impact — Impact (note: many Impact links use brand-vanity hosts, so if you cannot tell, ask the user).
  • click.linksynergy.com, *.linksynergy.com, *.rakutenmarketing.com — Rakuten Advertising.

Links from the other supported networks will not match a pattern above. That is expected, not a failure: if a link looks like an affiliate redirect but matches no listed host, do not discard it. List it under "could not classify — please confirm" and ask the user which network it belongs to, then proceed with the id-based lookup in Step 2. Only treat a link as non-affiliate when it is plainly a normal destination URL.

Step 2 — extract the programme identifier

Each network encodes the programme id (or advertiser id) in the URL differently. The reliable approach: do not hand-parse. Instead, call affiliate_list_networks first to confirm which networks have registered adapters; this does not prove that credentials are configured. Then, for each candidate URL:

  1. Match the URL to a network by host, or use the user's confirmed network for a recognised affiliate link whose host is not in the list above.
  2. Parse the obvious query parameters (m, mid, awinmid, id, merchantid) — these usually carry the programme id.
  3. Call affiliate_<slug>_get_programme with that id.
  4. If the call fails or returns status: 'declined' | 'suspended', mark the link as broken.
  5. If the call returns status: 'joined', mark the link as OK.
  6. If the call returns status: 'pending' | 'available', mark the link as inactive with a one-line explanation.

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.
