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

ilert-essentials 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 1mo 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.

The object model in one pass

Object What it is
Event What monitoring tools send. integrationKey routes it to an alert source
Alert Source Receives events. Owns the escalationPolicy, the integrationKey / integrationUrl, and every parsing and grouping setting
Alert The actionable thing: PENDING → ACCEPTED → RESOLVED, created by an alert source, driven by an escalation policy, triggers notifications to responders
Service A business capability people subscribe to. Appears on status pages, carries outage history, is attached to sources and named on incidents. Owns no policy and receives no events
Incident The coordination record above alerts (used on business impact) — multi channel responders, timeline, incident channel. It publishes nothing by itself
Status update The public message posted from an incident. This is what reaches status pages and subscribers
Escalation Policy Ordered rules with escalationTimeout, targeting users, schedules or teams. Also repeating / frequency, delayMin, routingKey
Schedule STATIC or RECURRING; RECURRING carries scheduleLayers (at least one), and resolves to one person on call — where layers overlap the higher one wins. Overrides go through PUT /schedules/{id}/overrides
Event Flow A routing layer above alert sources with its own ingest URL. Nodes: ROOT, DEFINE_BRANCHES, ROUTE_EVENT, SUPPORT_HOURS, WAIT, TRANSFORM
Call Flow The same idea for inbound phone calls: IVR_MENU, AUDIO_MESSAGE, SUPPORT_HOURS, ROUTE_CALL, PARALLEL_ROUTE_CALL, VOICEMAIL, PIN_CODE, CREATE_ALERT, BLOCK_NUMBERS, AGENTIC
Alert Action + Connector Outbound automation. The Connector holds credentials, the Alert Action binds it to a source with triggerMode, triggerTypes and ICL conditions
Maintenance Window Takes both services and alertSources — communication and suppression in one object
Deployment Pipeline / Event Deploy traffic, on its own ingest endpoint and its own integration key. Not alert traffic

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.
