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

docs 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 2mo 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.

Documentation Checklist (ALL required for every feature)

1. Module Documentation

Create docs/modules/<FEATURE>.md with:

# Feature Name

**Added in:** vX.Y.Z
**File:** `src/selectools/module.py`
**Classes:** `ClassName`

## Overview
Brief description.

## Quick Start
Minimal working example.

## API Reference
Class/method signatures with parameter tables.

## See Also
Links to related module docs.

2. Navigation Entry

Add to mkdocs.yml nav under the appropriate section:

nav:
  - Core:          # Agent, Tools, Memory, Sessions, etc.
  - Runtime Controls:  # Budget, Cancellation, Token Estimation, Model Switching
  - Providers:     # Overview, Models, Usage
  - RAG:           # Pipeline, Hybrid Search, Chunking, etc.
  - Evaluation:    # Eval Framework
  - Integration:   # MCP Client/Server
  - Security:      # Guardrails, Audit, Screening

3. Landing Page Update

Update docs/index.md — add to feature table, update counts.

4. Quickstart Update

If user-facing, add a step to docs/QUICKSTART.md.

5. Architecture Update

If it adds a new system component, update docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.

6. Example Script

Create examples/NN_feature_name.py (next available number). Follow existing style: docstring at top, self-contained, main() function with if __name__ guard.

7. Count Sync

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.
