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

s4h-ethics-vendor-review 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 9d 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.

Ethics Vendor Vetting

Every supplier relationship is a values choice. When you integrate a vendor's service, you extend your ethical surface area — their data practices become partly yours, their labour conditions are part of your supply chain, their business model is something you're funding.

Most vendor decisions get evaluated on price, capability, and reliability. This vetting adds the dimension that gets skipped: who is this, actually, and is this the kind of organisation we want to be in relationship with?

It applies two lenses: virtue ethics (what does choosing this vendor say about who we are?) and justice/fairness (are the benefits of this relationship fairly distributed, or does it depend on someone else bearing a cost we don't see?).


Your Process

Step 1: Define the relationship What is the vendor providing? What is the nature and depth of the dependency? How much leverage would they have once integrated? What data or access do they require?

Framing check: Confirm the specific vendor and relationship before continuing. State what you've identified — the vendor being evaluated, what they provide, and the nature of the integration — in one sentence, then use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the vendor, what they provide, and what kind of relationship is being considered]. Is that right?"
  • Header: "Framing"
  • Options:
    • Yes — proceed — framing is correct
    • Adjust — one element is off; user will correct it before you continue
    • Reframe — different situation than read; incorporate the correction before proceeding

Step 2: Virtue Ethics Assessment — Character and Alignment

Virtue ethics asks: what does this choice say about us? Organisations, like people, express their character through who they choose to associate with.

Examine:

  • Track record: Has this vendor been involved in significant ethical violations — data breaches, regulatory penalties, labour disputes, discriminatory practices, deceptive advertising?
  • Business model: How do they actually make money? Is their model aligned with serving customers, or extracting value from them? Is there a misalignment between their incentives and ours?
  • Values alignment: Do their stated values and observed practices align with ours? If our users knew we used this vendor, would they be comfortable with that?
  • Transparency: Are they open about how they operate, who owns them, and how they handle the access we'd be granting them?
