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

context-manage 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 9d 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 it actually says

Context Manage

Manage Kurtosis contexts for connecting to different Kurtosis instances.

What are contexts?

Contexts define which Kurtosis instance the CLI talks to. The default context is default which connects to the local engine (Docker or Kubernetes).

List contexts

kurtosis context ls

Shows all configured contexts and which one is active.

Add a context

kurtosis context add <context-name>

Switch context

kurtosis context set <context-name>

After switching, restart the engine or portal as needed.

Remove a context

kurtosis context rm <context-name>

Common workflow

# Check which context is active
kurtosis context ls

# Switch to a different environment
kurtosis context set staging

# Verify the switch succeeded
kurtosis context ls

# Start portal if using a remote context
kurtosis portal start

# Switch back to local
kurtosis context set default

Error handling

Scenario Behavior Resolution
Switch to non-existent context Command fails with error Run kurtosis context ls to see available contexts
Remove active context Command fails — cannot remove active Switch to another context first with kurtosis context set
Engine running after switch Engine still connected to old context Run kurtosis engine restart after switching contexts
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.
