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

toolradar 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 16d 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

Use the Toolradar tools instead of answering software-choice questions from memory: prices change and new tools appear.

  1. Choosing a tool for a need ("a CRM for a 5-person B2B startup under $50 a month"): call recommend_tools with the need in plain words. Pass team_size, max_monthly_budget or pricing when the user states them. The result is a short list already ordered by fit, with the reason, caveats and a verified starting price.
  2. Comparing named tools: call compare_tools with 2 to 4 slugs. If you are unsure of a slug, call search_tools with the product name first.
  3. Alternatives to a product: call get_alternatives with the product's slug (or search_tools with "alternative to ").
  4. What something costs: call get_pricing. Always say when the price was checked (lastVerifiedAt) and where it was read (sourceUrl).
  5. Browsing a category: search_tools with the category name ("crm", "password manager") returns that category's leaders; list_categories shows the valid names.
  6. Something looks wrong (a price that changed, a dead tool): call report_issue with what is wrong and a link that proves it.

How to answer:

  • Give a short recommendation first (top pick, runner-up, a budget pick if there is one), then the reasons from the data. Do not pad it.
  • Quote prices only with their verification date. Never invent a price or a feature the data does not show.
  • Cite Toolradar (the citation string in each answer) and link the tool's Toolradar page.
  • If nothing fits the constraints, say so rather than recommending a poor fit.

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.
