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

channel-post 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 6d 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.

Channel Post

Compose and post formatted content to a Telegram channel with correct formatting.

Steps

  1. Identify target channel:

    • chat(action="list") to find the channel
    • Channel chat_id is a negative number (e.g., -1001234567890) or @username
  2. Compose content with the user:

    • Draft the message text
    • Apply MarkdownV2 formatting (see escaping rules below)
    • Determine if media attachments are needed
  3. Handle media attachments (if any):

    • Photo with caption: media(action="send_photo", chat_id="...", file_path_or_url="...", caption="...") -- caption goes WITH the photo, not as a separate message
    • Document: media(action="send_file", chat_id="...", file_path_or_url="...")
    • Multiple photos: send as media group, first photo carries the caption
  4. Split long messages if content exceeds 4096 characters:

    • Split at paragraph boundaries (double newline) to preserve readability
    • Each chunk must be independently valid MarkdownV2 (no unclosed formatting)
    • Send chunks sequentially with the same parse_mode
  5. Send and verify:

    • message(action="send", chat_id="<channel>", text="<content>", parse_mode="MarkdownV2")
    • Verify the message appears correctly in the channel
    • If formatting breaks, check the escaping rules below

MarkdownV2 Escaping Rules

All these characters MUST be escaped with \ when used as literal text (outside formatting markup):

_ * [ ] ( ) ~ ` > # + - = | { } . !

Common patterns

Intent Correct MarkdownV2
Bold text *bold*
Italic text _italic_
Code inline `code`
Code block ```language\ncode\n```
Link [text](https://url)
Literal dot in "v2.0" v2\.0
Literal dash in list \- item
Price "$9.99" \$9\.99
Exclamation "Done!" Done\!
Parenthetical "(note)" \(note\)
Hashtag "#topic" \#topic

Formatting inside formatting

When nesting, the inner delimiter must also be escaped:

  • Bold italic: *_bold italic_* -- the _ inside *...* does NOT need escaping
  • But literal _ inside bold: *score\_value* -- MUST escape
