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

camsnap 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 12d 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

IP Cameras (camsnap)

Use the camsnap bridge to capture from IP cameras via the camsnap CLI on the host.

When to Use

  • User asks to check a camera or take a snapshot
  • Capturing video clips from security cameras
  • Discovering cameras on the network

Commands

All commands run via host_execute(bridge="camsnap", command="...").

camsnap discover --info                        # Find cameras on network
camsnap snap kitchen --out /tmp/shot.jpg       # Take snapshot
camsnap clip kitchen --dur 5s --out /tmp/clip.mp4  # Record clip
camsnap doctor --probe                         # Diagnostics

Setup (on host)

  • Install: brew install steipete/tap/camsnap
  • Requires ffmpeg on PATH
  • Configure cameras: camsnap add --name kitchen --host 192.168.0.10 --user user --pass pass
  • Config file: ~/.config/camsnap/config.yaml
  • Uncomment camsnap bridge in config.yaml, restart gateway

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.
