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 B, and why

whatsapp-send scanned grade B with 2 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

NEVER use `curl -d "..."` with arbitrary content. Shell encoding will corrupt non-ASCII characters — em-dashes, smart quotes, emoji — and the TimelinesAI JSON parser will reject the whole request with `'utf-8' codec can'

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WhatsApp send

Send one WhatsApp message. Two paths:

Path Use when Endpoint
By phone number New recipient, or you don't know the chat id POST /messages with {"phone":"+...", "text":"..."}
By chat id Existing conversation, you have the chat id (e.g. from a webhook or an earlier send) POST /chats/{chat_id}/messages with {"text":"..."}

The sender is determined differently in each mode:

  • In phone-number mode, TimelinesAI picks the sender from your connected numbers. In a single-number workspace this is unambiguous. In a multi-number workspace it uses the workspace default — if you need deterministic sender control, use chat-id mode with a chat you know the ownership of.
  • In chat-id mode, the sender is always the JID stored in the chat's whatsapp_account_id field. You don't pick it, the chat record does. That's why this skill verifies chat ownership when ALLOWED_SENDER_JID is set.

⚠️ Compliance — read before sending

Personal WhatsApp numbers connected to TimelinesAI are for transactional messages and replies to conversations the customer started. WhatsApp bans personal numbers for cold outreach quickly and aggressively. This skill will let you send anything — it's your responsibility to know the send is safe.

Safe sends with this skill (personal-number workflow):

  • Order confirmation, shipping update, delivery notification, payment receipt.
  • Appointment reminder or booking confirmation.
  • Reply to a customer who opened the thread within WhatsApp's 24-hour session window.
  • Event-triggered notification the customer explicitly opted into (HubSpot "demo scheduled" → meeting link, Stripe failed payment → recovery note).
  • Sending a file (quote, invoice, contract) the customer just asked for.

Not safe — don't use this skill for:

  • Cold outreach to purchased lists.
  • Marketing broadcasts to customers who didn't opt in.
  • Any unsolicited promotional message.

Those use cases need the WhatsApp Business API, which TimelinesAI supports today through the dashboard — public API automation is coming in Q2 2026. See ../../docs/compliance.md for the full explanation.

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.
