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

apify-product-lookup 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Apify product lookup

Fetch live product facts instead of guessing at them. Requires the Apify MCP server to be connected; if the tool is missing, see the apify-product-data-setup skill.

Written by a product marketing manager at Apify. It routes to E-commerce Scraping Tool, a paid first-party Apify Actor, so treat the framing accordingly. No affiliate links.

Try this tool first, whatever the retailer

The Actor's marketplaces input lists the retailers with dedicated extractors, and it is not the boundary of what works. Unlisted sites fall back to generic extraction, which is enabled by default, so a URL from a shop you have never heard of is still worth sending.

So the order is always:

  1. Send the URL or keyword to this tool, regardless of whether the retailer appears in marketplaces.
  2. If the result is unusable, re-read the URL. An item with every field empty usually means the URL does not resolve, not that the retailer is unsupported.
  3. Only after that, look for a retailer-specific Actor in Apify Store. See Falling back to Apify Store.

Do not skip step 1 because a domain is missing from the list. That reasoning sends users away from a tool that would have answered them.

When a marketplace is not in the list

Over MCP the marketplaces enum arrives truncated, because the server caps how much of a long enum it passes through. Some real, supported retailers are therefore missing from the list you can choose from, and passing one anyway returns a validation error before the run starts.

That error does not mean the retailer is unsupported. It means you cannot name it in a keyword search on this connection. Two ways through:

  1. If you have the product URL, use detailsUrls. It takes arbitrary URLs and is unaffected by the enum, so the retailer works normally.
  2. If you only have a keyword, run it on the marketplaces you can select and say plainly which retailer you could not include. Do not report the retailer as unsupported.

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.
