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

langchain-typescript-quickstart 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 it actually says

LangChain TypeScript quickstart

Follow the live docs — do not invent an alternate API from memory:

https://docs.langchain.com/oss/javascript/langchain/quickstart

Fetch that page (Docs MCP or HTTP) and implement what it shows (weather agent + createAgent). Requires Node 22+.

Local setup constraints

Apply these on top of the quickstart (they keep setup minimal and model-agnostic):

  1. Ask which provider/model to use. Showcase that LangChain is model-agnostic. Suggested prompt:

    Which model should this agent use? Pass a provider:model string — e.g. openai:gpt-5.5, anthropic:claude-sonnet-5, google-genai:gemini-2.5-flash-lite. Default if you're unsure: anthropic:claude-sonnet-5.

    Swap the quickstart's model string for their choice (or the default).

  2. Create a new directory (e.g. langchain-agent/) and do all work there — do not pollute the open project.

  3. Only secret: the provider API key in .env (gitignored). No LangSmith / Tavily unless they ask. Prefer they edit .env themselves — don't paste keys into chat.

  4. Install the provider package needed for their model if the quickstart's base install isn't enough.

  5. Run the example, show output, then stop. Point to langchain-fundamentals for next steps.

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.
