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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00058 $0.00604
Opus 5.5 $0.00023 $0.00242

Security

Grade A, and why

the-scribble-thing 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The Scribble Thing

Use the connected The Scribble Thing MCP server when it is available. Its public endpoint is https://scribble.boringstuff.club/mcp and the REST fallback guide is https://scribble.boringstuff.club/docs/agent-api.

Before creating

  • Require one PNG or JPEG image. Line art and simple illustrations work best.
  • Ask only for missing choices: drawing order is optional, hand display defaults to off, and speed defaults to normal.
  • Call get_scribble_service_info for current limits, retention, terms, and pricing. Do not rely on values remembered from an earlier run.
  • Before the first creation, tell the user that uploaded and generated files are retained for up to the reported retention period. Obtain explicit confirmation that the user accepts the current terms and has the rights needed to use the artwork. Do not infer acceptance.

Create and monitor

  1. Call create_scribe_animation with the image as raw base64, not a data URL. Supply a fresh non-personal idempotency key. Reuse that key only when retrying the identical request.
  2. Preserve the returned animation ID and capability token as secrets. Never put them in ordinary chat text, logs, analytics, filenames, or unrelated tools.
  3. Poll get_scribe_animation every 3-5 seconds until it reports completed or failed. Do not hold a long-running request open.
  4. On completion, give the user the watermarked preview and private management link. State that the free preview contains a watermark.
  5. If the user wants the clean video, prefer the management link so the user can purchase or enter a code privately. Call redeem_scribe_unlock_code only when the user explicitly supplies a code and asks the agent to redeem it.
  6. Use get_scribe_animation_download for a short-lived download URL. Do not place video bytes into the model context.

If the MCP host cannot send the attached image as base64, follow the REST guide's multipart upload workflow instead of fetching an arbitrary remote image URL.

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.
