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

web-monitor 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Web Monitor

Check websites for changes and alert via Telegram or ntfy.

Quick URL Check

# Check if page contains text
curl -s URL | grep -qi "SEARCH_TEXT" && echo "FOUND" || echo "NOT FOUND"

# Check HTTP status
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" URL

# Get page title
curl -s URL | grep -oP '(?<=<title>).*?(?=</title>)'

# Check price (extract number near keyword)
curl -s URL | grep -oP '\d+[\.,]\d+' | head -5

Persistent Monitoring

For repeated checks, create a cron-based monitor:

# Check every 5 minutes
*/5 * * * * curl -s URL | grep -qi "in stock" && curl -d "Item is in stock!" ntfy.sh/YOUR_TOPIC

Check Types

  1. text-absent — Alert when text disappears (e.g., "sold out" gone = in stock)
  2. text-present — Alert when text appears
  3. http-status — Alert on status change
  4. price-drop — Alert when price below threshold
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.
