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

hermes-kanban-workflow scanned grade A 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 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

**Live testing after board completion:** When all kanban tasks are done and the code is committed, the user will want to test the app. For web apps, see [references/dev-server-lan-testing.md](references/dev-server-lan-te

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

Every `kanban_*` tool has a CLI equivalent for human operators and scripts. The CLI is also usable from `execute_code` via `subprocess.run(["hermes", "kanban", ...])` — useful for batch-creating task graphs (see [referen

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.
