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

analyze-video 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 6d 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

Analyze the video at path: $ARGUMENTS

Steps

  1. Call MCP tool mcp__video-insight__analyze_video with:

    • video_path = $0
    • output_dir = ./video_analysis (default)
  2. Read the returned manifest carefully:

    • metadata — resolution, fps, duration, video type
    • scenes[] — each scene's keyframe image, OCR text, motion level, transcript segment
    • transcript — full timestamped speech-to-text
    • summary — high-level stats and detected UI elements
  3. For each scene, examine:

    • Keyframe image (keyframe_path)
    • detected_text — exact strings visible on screen
    • transcript_overlap — narration during this scene
    • motion_detected / motion_level — animations or changes
  4. Produce a structured markdown report:

## Video Analysis: <filename>

**Duration:** Xs | **Scenes:** N | **Resolution:** WxH | **Has Audio:** yes/no

### Overview
<2-3 sentence summary>

### Scene Breakdown
| Scene | Time | Summary | Key Text | Motion |
|-------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| 0 | 0s-12s | ... | ... | Low |

### Narration Summary
<condensed transcript>

### Key Content Extracted
- Headlines: ...
- CTAs: ...
- Prices: ...
- Features: ...

### UI/UX Notes
- Layout / Navigation / Color scheme / Interactions

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.
