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

search 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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to search — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Perform a structured search across Glean enterprise knowledge and return vetted, quality-assessed results.

Core Principles

  • Relevance over completeness: Show the best results, not all results
  • Be skeptical: Not every keyword match is relevant
  • Context matters: Include enough info to assess relevance

Search Process

1. Identify the Query

Determine the search topic from the user's request or current conversation context. If no query is apparent, ask the user what they want to search for before proceeding.

2. Execute Search

Use the Glean search tool with the user's query. Return the most relevant results.

3. Assess Results

For each result, evaluate:

Relevance:

  • ✅ RELEVANT: Actually about the query topic
  • ❌ SKIP: Keyword coincidence, different context

Currency:

  • ✅ CURRENT: Recent update
  • ⚠️ OLD: May be outdated

Only show results that pass the relevance check. If old, note it.

4. Present Vetted Results

For each included result:

  • Title (as a clickable link if URL available)
  • Source (app/datasource)
  • Last updated (with freshness indicator: ✅ <6mo, ⚠️ 6-12mo, ❌ >12mo)
  • Snippet (relevant excerpt)
  • Relevance note (why this matches)

5. Note Quality

After results, include:

  • How many results were found vs. shown
  • Any concerns about result quality
  • Suggestions if results seem limited

6. Offer Follow-up Actions

After showing results, offer these follow-up actions:

  • Read a document in full
  • Refine the search with filters (by date, owner, app/source, or different keywords)
  • Search a related topic

Example Output

## Search Results: [query]

Found [X] results, showing top [Y] most relevant:

### 1. [Title] ✅
**Source**: Confluence | **Updated**: 2 weeks ago ✅
> [Relevant snippet...]

**Why relevant**: [Brief note on why this matches]

### 2. [Title] ⚠️
**Source**: Slack | **Updated**: 8 months ago ⚠️
> [Relevant snippet...]

**Why relevant**: [Note] | **Caveat**: May be outdated

---

**Quality note**: [X] results filtered out (keyword matches in different context)

**If these don't help**: Try [alternative search suggestion]

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.
