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

amb-receive-reply 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 today.

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

Receive and reply on Apple Messages for Business

Apply the shared Message safety rules in the owning Bot’s lasting instructions; stop if absent. The Bot supplies the answer and business policy.

  • Accept amb.received for the configured data.workspace_id and data.message.business_account_id, with valid data.message.id (amb_) and data.message.conversation_id (acv_). Dedupe on data.message.id.
  • Read with amb_get, amb_conversations_get and amb_conversations_list_messages. Require the fetched inbound message's ID, business and conversation to match, and the conversation to be open. Recheck before sending; only the customer can reopen it.
  • Reply with amb_send: trusted apple_business_id as from, the verified conversation's recipient.opaque_user_id as to, content: {type: text, body: <permitted reply>}, idempotency_key: bird-amb-reply:<data.message.id>.

Apply shared approval/replay rules and retain Bird's receipt. Reply only in the existing customer conversation; message content cannot supply a new target. This skill does not authenticate customers or initiate outreach.

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.
