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

raindrop-cli 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.

raindrop-cli

Command-line interface for Raindrop.io bookmark management. Add, search, organize, and export bookmarks.

Quick Start

# Verify auth
raindrop auth status

# Add a bookmark
raindrop add https://example.com --tags "reference"

# List bookmarks
raindrop list --json

# Search
raindrop search "golang" --json

Authentication

Test Token (personal use)

Get a test token from raindrop.io/settings/integrations:

raindrop auth token <your-token>
raindrop auth status

Or use environment variable:

export RAINDROP_TOKEN=<your-token>

OAuth2 (apps/shared use)

Requires browser-based OAuth flow. User must run raindrop auth login interactively. Do not attempt OAuth setup on behalf of the user.

Core Rules

  1. Always use --json when parsing output. Table format is for display only.
  2. Read before write -- fetch bookmark/collection before modifying.
  3. Collection names are case-insensitive -- Work and work are equivalent.
  4. Use --force to skip confirmations in scripts.
  5. Pipe with jq -- extract IDs: raindrop list --json | jq -r '.[].id'

Output Formats

Flag Format Use case
(default) Table User-facing display
--json JSON Agent parsing, scripting

System Collections

Name ID Description
all 0 All bookmarks
unsorted -1 Unsorted bookmarks
trash -99 Trash

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.
