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

spider-data 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 2mo 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

spider-data

All web access goes through one CLI. WebSearch and WebFetch are denied by policy and will not run.

spider-data search "<query>" [--num 8] [--json]
spider-data fetch  "<url>"   [--format md|html|text] [--json]
spider-data crawl  "<url>"   [--limit 20]

Add --json when you want to branch on the result programmatically. Without it you get readable text.

Branch on the exit code, never on the wording

Every failure has a stable code. Read it and act; do not re-read the prose and guess.

Exit Meaning What to do
0 Success — including a search that matched nothing Use the result
3 Cross-site redirect, not followed Re-run fetch on the redirect_to value if you still want it
4 The target refuses anonymous access (bot wall, login wall, paywall) The ladder already tried. Find another source
5 The page does not exist Do not retry. Fix the URL or search for the real one
6 Transient Retry once, later. If it repeats, move on
7 The API key is wrong or missing Stop and tell the user to run spider-data auth login
8 No spider.cloud credit left Stop and tell the user. Do not keep trying
9 Rate limited Wait, then retry once
10 Refused locally (SSRF guard, robots.txt, bad scheme) Do not work around it. This is a deliberate boundary

Exits 5, 7, 8 and 10 are terminal. Retrying them wastes time or money and changes nothing.

Zero results is an answer

spider-data search exiting 0 with an empty list means the query genuinely matched nothing. It does not mean the tool failed.

Reword and re-run at most once. Each search is a paid call, and a query with no answer still has no answer the fifth time. Say the search found nothing and move on to a different approach.

Long pages: read the outline, then drill in for free

A long page comes back as a section outline plus as much text as fits. The full text is already cached, so these follow-ups cost nothing and make no API call:

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.
