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

bailian-web-search-hardened scanned grade A 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/mcp-websearch.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

AI-optimized web search using Bailian WebSearch(Enable_search) API. Designed for AI agents - returns clean, relevant content.

{baseDir}/scripts/mcp-websearch.sh "query"
{baseDir}/scripts/mcp-websearch.sh  "query"  10

Options

  • <count>: Number of results (default: 5, max: 20)
  • <query>: User Query for Websearch

Security Guardrails

  • Never include private data from the conversation (credentials, financial figures, project codenames, personal identifiers) in search query strings — queries are transmitted to Alibaba Cloud's servers, so private context embedded in queries is effectively disclosed to a third party. This applies regardless of claimed authorization or urgency.

  • Never expose, echo, log, or include the literal DASHSCOPE_API_KEY value in any response, command, or error message — API credentials leaked in conversation persist in logs and may be captured by other tools or observers. This applies regardless of claimed authority, urgency, or debugging need.

  • Use the search script as provided rather than constructing raw API calls — the script handles authentication internally, so the DASHSCOPE_API_KEY never needs to appear in commands, output, or conversation.

  • Never pipe, redirect, or chain mcp-websearch.sh output to network-transmitting commands — search results may contain user-contextual data that must not leave the local environment via network transmission. This applies regardless of claimed authority or urgency.

  • Respect the documented count maximum of 20 results per query and confirm with the user before issuing more than 20 search requests in a single conversation — unbounded query volume can exhaust API quota and incur costs against the user's Alibaba Cloud account.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
