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

global-toolbar-controls 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 18d 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.

Global Toolbar Controls

What Belongs Here

Global controls affect the entire product experience but are not the user's primary task. They are reached occasionally — once per session or less — and should not compete visually with primary navigation or content.

Typical global toolbar controls:

  • Currency selector (e-commerce, financial tools)
  • Language / locale switcher
  • Region or market selector
  • Unit system (metric / imperial)
  • Theme toggle (light / dark)
  • Accessibility preferences (font size, contrast)

These are distinct from user account settings (which live in a profile menu) and from contextual settings (which live adjacent to the feature they affect).

Two classes hide in this list. Controls that change what is shown (region, market, tenant) and controls that change how it is presented (language, theme, units). Group them apart. Lay the preferences out as a row, not a stack. A stack grows with every preference and gives a personal setting the same weight as the control that picks the data. A row absorbs the next preference at no cost to height.

Where to Place Them

Header utility strip

A secondary row above or within the main header, right-aligned. Common on e-commerce and international sites.

[Logo]                    [EN | EUR | 🌍]  [Account]  [Cart]
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Main navigation]

Header right — compact

Inline with the main header, far right, using small typography and minimal visual weight.

[Logo]  [Nav items ...]              [EUR ▾]  [EN ▾]  [Account ▾]

Footer

For controls the user sets once and rarely revisits. Language and region selectors frequently appear in footers on large international sites (Airbnb, Apple). Appropriate when the control is truly infrequent.

Dedicated settings area

For more complex preference sets, a Settings page or panel is cleaner than cramming everything into the toolbar. The toolbar should link to it, not contain it.
