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 B, and why

OllamaResearcher scanned grade B with 2 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (tools/ollama-query.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

OllamaResearcher - Private Local AI Research

Local, private AI research using your self-hosted Ollama server for sensitive information and offline tasks.

Why Use Ollama?

Use Ollama for:

  • Sensitive Information: Financial records, medical data, personal information
  • Offline Work: No internet required, works on local network
  • Privacy: Data never leaves your local network
  • No API Costs: Free to use, no quota limits
  • Older Knowledge: Tasks that don't require up-to-date information

Don't use Ollama for:

  • Current events or recent information (use Perplexity/Claude instead)
  • Web research requiring internet access
  • Tasks requiring latest model capabilities

Configuration

Ollama Server Details:

  • URL: http://localhost:11434/ (your local machine)
  • Model: gemma4:31b (default), dolphin3:8b-llama3.1-fp16 (fast)
  • Location: localhost (your local machine running Ollama)

No API keys required - runs on your local network.


Workflow Routing

Workflow Trigger Behavior
Ollama Query "use ollama to...", "ollama research", "ask ollama", "private AI" Use Ollama for question/research
Sensitive Data Analysis Working with financial/medical data Automatically suggest Ollama
Offline Work When internet access limited Fall back to Ollama

Examples

Example 1: Financial Analysis

User: "Analyze my investment portfolio using ollama"
→ Routes to Ollama server (keeps financial data local)
→ Uses dolphin3:8b-llama3.1-fp16 model
→ Returns analysis without sending data to cloud

Example 2: Medical Information

User: "Help me understand my medical test results using local AI"
→ Automatically uses Ollama for privacy
→ Processes sensitive health data locally
→ Returns explanation without cloud services

Example 3: General Query with Privacy

User: "Use ollama to explain quantum computing"
→ Sends query to local Ollama server
→ Gets response from dolphin3 model
→ Works offline, no external API calls

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
