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

jw-verse-lookup 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Bible verse lookup (jw.org)

When the user mentions a Bible reference, call the MCP tool resolve_reference with the raw text. It returns the canonical book number, chapter, verses, the detected language, and a wol.jw.org URL.

If the user wants the verse text (not just the link), follow up with get_chapter(book_num, chapter, language=...) and locate the verse inside the returned paragraphs.

Examples

  • "What does Juan 3:16 say?" → resolve_reference("Juan 3:16", language="es") then get_chapter(43, 3, language="es")
  • "Open Hebrews 13" → resolve_reference("Hebrews 13") then get_chapter(58, 13)

Boundaries

  • This skill handles single-verse lookup. For multi-verse research across publications, use jw-research instead.
  • Always cite the wol.jw.org URL returned by the tool.

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.
