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

search.news 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.

What it actually says

Search News

Use this skill when the user asks for news, latest reporting, headlines, recent events, current developments, or time-sensitive source discovery.

Workflow

  1. Call web_search with:
    • provider: "searxng"
    • categories: "news"
    • the user's news query
    • freshness: "day" or freshness: "week" when the user asks for recent/latest news and no tighter window is specified.
    • count, country, or language only when the user asks for them or they are clearly implied.
  2. Return the most relevant news results with title, URL, age/date when available, and a short snippet.
  3. Use web_fetch after web_search before making factual claims beyond the snippets.

Constraints

  • Do not use hosted news search providers for this skill unless the user explicitly asks to leave the sovereign SearXNG path.
  • Make recency explicit when reporting news.
  • If SearXNG is not configured, say that the self-hosted news search provider is unavailable and include the tool error.
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.
