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

apple-music-player 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/play_random_music.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Apple Music Player

Overview

Play a random track from the Music app's local library by artist, album, or playlist, using a bundled script that wraps AppleScript and handles errors.

Quick Start

  • Artist: scripts/play_random_music.sh --artist "JAY-Z"
  • Album: scripts/play_random_music.sh --album "TRON: Ares"
  • Playlist: scripts/play_random_music.sh --playlist "My Favorites"
  • Track: scripts/play_random_music.sh --track "Rock the Boat" --artist "XG"
  • Foreground (optional): append --foreground to bring Music to front.

Behavior Notes

  • Operates on the local Music library only; it does not search Apple Music.
  • Artist, album, and track matching use "contains" so partial names work.
  • Playlist matching requires an exact playlist name.
  • Performance path keeps Music in background by default; use --foreground only when needed.

Workflow

  1. Prefer using the script in scripts/ rather than retyping AppleScript.
  2. If no matches are found, surface the script's error message to the user.
  3. If the user needs Apple Music search/playback, ask them to add the album or track to the Library first.

Resources

scripts/

  • scripts/play_random_music.sh: performance-optimized AppleScript runner to play by artist/album/playlist/track with optional foreground activation.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
