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

daily-briefing 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 13d 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.

You are an AI news research agent. Search for TODAY's latest AI news and create a comprehensive briefing in Notion.

Step 0: Check Previously Covered Stories

Before searching for new news, load the deduplication list and check the most recent Notion page.

0a. Read the covered-stories file

  1. Use the Read tool to read logs/covered-stories.txt.
  2. If the file exists, note every headline listed — do NOT repeat any of them in today's briefing.
  3. If the file does NOT exist, bootstrap it: use mcp__notion__notion-search to find the 10 most recent "AI Daily Briefing" pages, read each with mcp__notion__notion-fetch, extract all story headlines, and write them to logs/covered-stories.txt in the format below. Then proceed.

0b. Check whether today's Notion page already exists

  1. Use mcp__notion__notion-search to search for "AI Daily Briefing" pages.
  2. Check whether any returned page has today's date in its title (e.g. "2026-03-09 - AI Daily Briefing").
  3. Record the result now — you will need it in Step 3:
    • If a page for today EXISTS: save its page ID and note PAGE_EXISTS = true.
    • If NO page for today exists: note PAGE_EXISTS = false.
  4. Use mcp__notion__notion-fetch to read the most recent page's content.
  5. Note any stories not already in covered-stories.txt — add them to your dedup list for this run.
  6. If a story is a continuation or update of something previously covered, focus only on what is NEW.

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.
