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

agent-tools 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 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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

CLI Syntax

Each tool is a separate quoted argument:

claude --allowedTools "Tool1" "Tool2" "Tool3(...)" --print "prompt"

Example with multiple tools:

claude --allowedTools "Read" "Edit" "Bash(pytest:*)" --print "implement feature"

Path-Specific Restrictions

Restrict file operations to specific directories using gitignore-style patterns.

Path Pattern Syntax

Pattern Meaning Example
//path Absolute filesystem path Edit(//Users/alice/src/**)
~/path Home directory relative Read(~/.zshrc)
/path Relative to settings file Edit(/src/**/*.ts)
path Relative to current directory Read(src/**)

Examples

# Allow editing only in src/ directory
claude --allowedTools "Edit(/src/**)" --print "..."

# Allow editing TypeScript files only
claude --allowedTools "Edit(/src/**/*.ts)" --print "..."

# Multiple path restrictions
claude --allowedTools "Read" "Edit(/apps/users/**)" "Edit(/tests/**)" --print "..."

# Absolute path restriction
claude --allowedTools "Edit(//tmp/scratch.txt)" --print "..."

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.
