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

format-specific-extraction 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 9d 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.

Format-Specific Extraction Workflows

Office XML (DOCX/PPTX/ODT)

ZIP archive → Security validation → XML parsing → Text + tables + metadata
  1. ZipBombValidator::new(limits).validate(&mut archive)?
  2. Extract XML files from archive (word/document.xml, ppt/slides/*.xml, content.xml)
  3. Parse with quick-xml::Reader (streaming) + DepthValidator + StringGrowthValidator
  4. Extract metadata via crate::extraction::office_metadata::extract_metadata()
  5. See: extractors/docx.rs, extractors/pptx.rs, extractors/odt.rs

PDF

Bytes → pdf_oxide → Per-page text + OCR fallback → Tables → Metadata
  1. pdf_oxide::PdfDocument::from_bytes(content)?
  2. Check if needs OCR: config.force_ocr || !has_searchable_text()
  3. Extract text per page, tables if config.pages enabled
  4. Feature-gated: #[cfg(feature = "pdf")]
  5. See: extractors/pdf/mod.rs

Archives (ZIP/TAR/7z/GZIP)

Validate → Extract metadata → Extract plaintext files only
  1. ZipBombValidator BEFORE any extraction
  2. Extract metadata (file list, sizes)
  3. Extract text content from plaintext files
  4. Use build_archive_result() helper
  5. See: extractors/archive.rs, extraction/archive/*.rs

Structured Text (JSON/YAML/TOML/XML)

Detect format from MIME → Parse → Pretty-print → Metadata

Single StructuredExtractor handles multiple MIME types. Parse with format-specific library, pretty-print to text. See: extractors/structured.rs

Email (EML/MSG)

Parse headers → Extract body (text/html) → Process attachments

See: extraction/email.rs, extractors/email.rs

Common Helpers

Helper Location Purpose
office_metadata::extract_metadata() extraction/office.rs Office XML metadata
cells_to_markdown() extraction/mod.rs Convert cell grid to GFM table
build_archive_result() extraction/archive/mod.rs Standard archive result
