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

agent-loop-update 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 2d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent Loop — Update

Pull the latest kit from GitHub (https://github.com/ciroaurelio22/AgentLoop.git) and reinstall into this repository, preserving queue and task programs.

Run the updater

From the target repo root:

pnpm agent:update

Or directly:

node scripts/agent/update.mjs --target .

The script:

  1. Clones or git pulls the kit into %TEMP%/agent-loop-kit (or $TMPDIR/agent-loop-kit)
  2. Runs bin/install.mjs --target . --all --force --updated from that fresh copy

Optional flags:

node scripts/agent/update.mjs --target . --branch master
node scripts/agent/update.mjs --target . --kit-dir "C:/path/to/cache"

Restart Agent Console (required)

After every update, restart the web UI. The kit replaces files on disk (tools/agent-gui/, scripts, hooks), but a server already listening on port 9477 keeps the old code in memory. pnpm agent:gui:ensure alone does not restart a healthy running instance.

  1. Stop the current Agent Console:
    • Close the terminal that runs pnpm agent:gui, or
    • Kill the PID stored in .agent-loop/gui.pid (Windows: taskkill /F /PID <pid>, Unix: kill <pid>)
  2. Start it again:
pnpm agent:gui:ensure

Or open it manually:

pnpm agent:gui
  1. Reload the browser tab at http://127.0.0.1:9477 (hard refresh if needed).

Always tell the user to restart Agent Console after an update completes.

Preserved user data

The installer does not overwrite:

  • .agent-loop/queue.json
  • .agent-loop/scratchpad.md
  • .agent-loop/autostart
  • specs/agent-tasks/TASK-*.md

Verify after update

pnpm agent:status
# restart Agent Console (see above), then:
pnpm agent:gui:ensure

Report what changed (scripts, hooks, GUI, skills), confirm queue/tasks are intact, and remind the user to reload the browser after the GUI restart.

Constraints

  • Source of truth is the GitHub repo — do not hand-patch kit files in the target repo.
  • Do not overwrite user task programs or queue state.
  • Requires git in PATH for clone/pull.

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.
