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

set-metadata scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Write Metadata to Images

Set metadata tags on image files using exiftool. Supports EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata, with automatic backup of original files.

When to use

  • Adding copyright and artist information to a photo before distribution.
  • Manually setting GPS coordinates if they were not captured.
  • Batch-updating descriptions or keywords across multiple images.
  • Fixing incorrect camera model or lens metadata.

Inputs to gather

  • Input file or directory — single image or folder.
  • Metadata key-value pairs — ask the user for the tags and values they want to set. Common fields:
    • Artist — photographer or creator name.
    • Copyright — copyright statement (e.g., "© 2026 Daniel Rosehill").
    • Description / ImageDescription — image description text.
    • Keywords — comma-separated keywords.
    • LensModel — lens description (if not auto-detected).
    • GPSLatitude / GPSLongitude / GPSAltitude — GPS coordinates.
    • DateTimeOriginal — capture date/time (format: YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS).
  • Backup before write? Default: yes. exiftool creates _original sidecars; offer an explicit backup copy for safety.

Procedure

1. Check tooling

command -v exiftool || echo "exiftool not installed — install with: sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl"

Abort if missing.

2. Validate tag names

Ask the user to confirm the exiftool tag names. Common mappings:

User-facing exiftool tag
Artist Artist
Creator Creator
Copyright Copyright
Description ImageDescription
Keywords Keywords
Lens LensModel
Camera model Model

Gotcha: EXIF, IPTC, and XMP may use different tag names for the same logical field. exiftool auto-detects the appropriate target; document which format will be used:

exiftool -a -G1 "<sample.jpg>" | grep -i copyright

This shows which groups (EXIF, IPTC, XMP) currently carry copyright info on the sample file.

3. Confirm metadata and scope

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.
