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 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

98% identical to news — 11 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

News Reference

When the user asks for "latest news", "what's in the news today", or "news in category X", use the browser_use tool with the categories and URLs below: open the page, take a snapshot, then extract headlines and key points from the page content and reply to the user.

Categories and Sources

Category Source URL
Politics People's Daily · CPC News https://cpc.people.com.cn/
Finance China Economic Net http://www.ce.cn/
Society China News · Society https://www.chinanews.com/society/
World CGTN https://www.cgtn.com/
Tech Science and Technology Daily https://www.stdaily.com/
Sports CCTV Sports https://sports.cctv.com/
Entertainment Sina Entertainment https://ent.sina.com.cn/

How to Use (browser_use)

  1. Clarify the user's need: Determine which category or categories (politics / finance / society / world / tech / sports / entertainment), or pick 1–2 to fetch.
  2. Pick the URL: Use the URL from the table for that category; for multiple categories, repeat the steps below for each URL.
  3. Open the page: Call browser_use with:
    {"action": "open", "url": "https://www.chinanews.com/society/"}
    
    Replace url with the corresponding URL from the table.
  4. Take a snapshot: In the same session, call browser_use again:
    {"action": "snapshot"}
    
    Extract headlines, dates, and summaries from the returned page content.
  5. Summarize the reply: Organize a short list (headline + one or two sentences + source) by time or importance; if a site is unreachable or times out, say so and suggest another source.

Notes

  • Page structure may change when sites are updated; if extraction fails, say so and suggest the user open the link directly.
  • When visiting multiple categories, run open for each URL, then snapshot, to avoid mixing content from different pages.
  • You may include the original link in the reply so the user can open it.

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.
