What is blog.create_for_helpers_tool?

A writing workflow that creates a short blog post about a helper tool after reading its source code, tests, documentation, and tutorials.

Use it to document a helper utility with an introduction, usage guidance, scenarios, limitations, comparisons, and references.

It grounds the article in the tool's actual behavior instead of making unsupported claims.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00008	$0.00784
Opus 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00314
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00157
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00078

Security

Grade A, and why

blog.create_for_helpers_tool 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 yesterday.

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 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.
