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

manage-freeze-windows 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.

Manage Freeze Windows

Create and toggle Harness deployment freeze windows via MCP. A freeze window blocks pipeline executions within a time window so you can enforce change freezes for releases, holidays, or maintenance.

MCP Tools Used

Tool Resource Type Purpose
harness_list freeze_window List project freeze windows, filter by status / time / keyword
harness_get freeze_window Get a single freeze window by identifier
harness_create freeze_window Create a freeze window from YAML
harness_update freeze_window Replace an existing freeze window's YAML definition
harness_delete freeze_window Delete a freeze window
harness_execute (action: toggle_status) freeze_window Enable / disable one or more freeze windows in bulk
harness_get global_freeze Get the current project-level global freeze state
harness_execute (action: manage) global_freeze Enable or disable the project global freeze from YAML
harness_schema freeze_window Exact JSON Schema for the create / update body

Both resources are project-scoped — every call needs org_id and project_id.

Freeze Window YAML

Create/update bodies take a raw freeze YAML string passed as body: { yaml: "<yaml string>" }. The MCP server forwards it to the Harness API with Content-Type: application/yaml.

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.
