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

compress-files 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 3d 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

Compress files with MiCompress

Two MiCompress servers come with this plugin. Pick by where the file is:

  • File on this computer (a path such as ./assets/photo.png): use the local server's compress_file. It writes the smaller copy next to the original with a -min suffix, or to output_path if the user names one. Only overwrite the original when the user asks for it.
  • File at a public link (a direct download link, or a Google Drive or Dropbox share link): use compress_file_from_url. It returns a download link valid for 24 hours. If the result says the job is still processing, call get_compression_result with its job ID after a short wait.

Choosing a preset:

Goal Preset
Keep quality identical (print, archives, legal documents) lossless
Everyday use — the default recommended
Smallest possible file, e.g. to get under an email limit extreme

For images headed to a web page, also pass max_width (for example 1600 for full-width images, 800 for thumbnails).

After compressing, tell the user the size before and after and where the result is. If a format is rejected, call list_supported_formats and say which formats are supported.

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.
