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

using-looker-cli 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 8d 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.

Using Looker CLI (looker-cli)

This skill documents standard operations, session management, discovery workflows, and API payload tools in Looker CLI (looker-cli).


1. Managing Profiles

Profiles allow you to store connection configurations (host, port, credentials, tokens) for different Looker instances (e.g., development, staging, production) in ~/.config/looker-cli/config.yaml.

Adding a Profile

Add connection settings for a Looker instance using profile add:

looker-cli profile add <profile_name> --host <instance_host> --port <port>

Optional flags when creating a profile:

  • --client-id <id>: Set Looker API Client ID.
  • --client-secret <secret>: Set Looker API Client Secret.
  • --token <access_token>: Store a pre-acquired API access token.
  • --refresh-token <refresh_token>: Store an OAuth refresh token.

Example:

looker-cli profile add staging --host staging.looker.mycompany.com --port 443

Listing Profiles

List all configured profiles:

looker-cli profile ls

The active (default) profile is denoted with an asterisk (*):

  dev (dev.looker.mycompany.com:443)
* staging (staging.looker.mycompany.com:443)
  prod (prod.looker.mycompany.com:443)

Setting the Default Profile

Set a specific profile as your default active profile using profile use:

looker-cli profile use <profile_name>

Example:

looker-cli profile use prod

Subsequent commands will automatically execute against the active profile without needing explicit connection flags.

Overriding Profile per Command (--profile)

To execute a single command against a profile other than the default active profile, use the global --profile flag:

looker-cli <command> --profile <profile_name>

Examples:

# Query current user on production without changing active default profile
looker-cli user me --profile prod

# List projects in dev environment
looker-cli project ls --profile dev

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.
