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

uptodate 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.

UpToDate

What it is

UpToDate is the most widely used clinical decision support resource in US hospitals, with institutional subscriptions at the majority of health systems. It provides physician-authored, peer-reviewed clinical summaries covering diagnosis, treatment, and prevention across all specialties. The REST API enables agents to retrieve topic content, recommendation grades, evidence levels, and related topic links programmatically within the clinical workflow.

When to use this skill

  • Retrieve treatment recommendations for an active diagnosis or clinical question
  • Look up drug dosing, indications, and contraindications from the drug monograph library
  • Surface the graded recommendation strength (A/B/C) and evidence level (1/2/3) for a proposed intervention
  • Identify relevant clinical practice guidelines (AHA, IDSA, ACOG, etc.) linked to a topic
  • Support clinical decision making at the point of care for physician or nursing queries

Credentials

This skill authenticates using variables declared in the metadata above. Copy ~/.openclaw/.env.example to ~/.openclaw/.env and fill in real values. Required variables:

  • UPTODATE_API_KEY - institutional API key issued with the UpToDate license
  • UPTODATE_BASE_URL - API base URL (typically https://www.uptodate.com/services/app/contents/api)

Key operations

  • GET /search?q={query} — keyword or clinical question search returning ranked topic list
  • GET /topic/{topicId} — full topic content with structured sections (Recommendations, Evidence Summary, References)
  • GET /drug/{drugName} — drug monograph (dosing, indications, contraindications, pregnancy safety, renal/hepatic adjustments)
  • GET /topic/{topicId}/graded-recommendations — extracted recommendation statements with grade and evidence level
  • GET /topic/{topicId}/related — linked topics and related guidelines

Notes

  • Access requires an active institutional UpToDate license; individual clinician keys cannot be used for agent/system integrations.
  • API responses include a lastReviewedDate field; surface this to clinicians so they can assess currency.
  • Rate limit: 60 requests/min per API key; cache topic responses for repeated queries within a session.
  • Content is licensed; do not store or redistribute full topic text outside the agent session context.
  • UpToDate content is copyright Wolters Kluwer; display attribution in any output surfaced to end users.

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.
