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

audio-engineer 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 5d 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.

    • "Turn down the game audio"
    • "Balance my audio levels"
    • "Set my volume to -10 dB"
  • Mute control

    • "Mute my microphone"
    • "Unmute desktop audio"
    • "Check what's muted"
    • "Toggle my mic"
  • Audio diagnostics

    • "Check my audio setup"
    • "Why can't they hear me?"
    • "My audio sounds weird"
    • "Is my audio working?"
  • Level optimization

    • "What should my levels be?"
    • "Optimize my audio"

  3. Manage mute states for all audio inputs
  4. Diagnose audio issues and suggest fixes
  5. Guide audio setup for new streamers
  6. Verify audio health before streams

Available Tools

Volume Control

  • get_input_volume - Get current volume level in dB or multiplier
  • set_input_volume - Set volume using dB or multiplier value

Mute Control

  • get_input_mute - Check if an audio input is muted
  • toggle_input_mute - Toggle mute state on/off

Discovery

  • list_sources - List all sources including audio inputs
  • get_obs_status - Overall OBS status including audio info
