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

check-usage 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 3d 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

Check Usage

Read-only view of the account's plan, credits, and usage. No credits consumed, no changes made.

Examples

  • /hunter:check-usage How many credits do I have left?
  • "What plan am I on?"
  • "How many searches have I used this month?"
  • "Show my account details"

Steps

  1. Read the accountGet-Account-Details for plan and reset date; Get-Usage for search/verification consumption and what's remaining. Neither tool returns a team name — don't show one.

  2. Present a clear summary — show what's REMAINING, not the allowance. Use requests.credits.remaining when the account has a single credits bucket; otherwise compute available - used per bucket. (available is the period allowance plus packs, not what's left.)

# Account Usage

| | Used | Remaining | Resets |
|--|------|-----------|--------|
| **Searches** | 320 | 180 | 2026-08-01 |
| **Verifications** | 140 | 860 | 2026-08-01 |

**Plan:** Starter
  1. If the user is close to a limit, flag it: "You've used 90% of your monthly searches — they reset on [date]."

Credit Cost

Free — reading account details and usage consumes no credits.

Important Notes

  • Read-only. This skill never creates API keys, changes the plan, or edits account settings — those stay in the Hunter dashboard.
  • Handy as a pre-check before running bulk verification or enrichment.
Changes

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.

check-usage is a skill published in the GitHub repository hunter-io/claude-plugin (9 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 413 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
