What is wow-api-combat?

A reference guide to World of Warcraft Retail's combat-related programming interfaces, which add-ons use to read or display combat information. It covers damage, threat, crowd-control effects, combat text, sounds, restricted values, and spectator data, including changes in patch 12.0.0.

Use it when building or updating damage meters, threat displays, combat alerts, combat-text features, or spectator tools for the Retail version of World of Warcraft.

It helps add-on developers avoid relying on combat-log functions that patch 12.0.0 no longer makes available to add-ons. It also shows which newer interfaces should be used instead.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00149	$0.03220
Opus 5.5	$0.00060	$0.01288
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00030	$0.00644
Haiku 4.5	$0.00015	$0.00322

Security

Grade A, and why

wow-api-combat 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 1mo 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.

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.
