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

news-fetcher 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

News Fetcher

Single job: Query Gmail for Google 快訊 emails and return a list of news items with title and url, date-prioritized.

Gmail query

Use the Gmail MCP tool (mcp_google-workspace_query_gmail_emails) with query:

subject:Google 快訊 newer_than:2d

(Syntax may vary by MCP; use the equivalent that limits to last 2 days and subject containing "Google 快訊".)

Date priority

  • Return current date (today) URLs only.
  • If there are no results for today, return yesterday's URLs only.
  • Do not mix dates in one response.

Use each message's date to filter: first try today; if none, use yesterday.

Per-email steps

For each matching email:

  1. Get full message (subject, snippet, body if needed).
  2. Extract the news title (from subject or first line).
  3. Extract the link (e.g. "Read more" / 快訊 link); normalize to one URL per item.

Output contract

Return only a single block the main agent can parse. No prose before or after.

Use one of:

  • JSON array: [{"title":"...","url":"..."},{"title":"...","url":"..."}]
  • Or numbered markdown list with title and URL per line, e.g. 1. Title — URL

No commentary. No "Here are the results". Just the list.

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.
