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

local-tools 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/calendar.ps1, scripts/calendar.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Examples of when to use:

  • User: "Show me my schedule for tomorrow"
  • User: "Create a meeting at 3 PM"
  • User: "Search for calendar events containing 'project'"
  • User: "Delete tomorrow's meeting"

How It Works

Architecture:

  1. CLI Scripts - Platform-specific scripts, no HTTP server needed

    • calendar.sh - Bash script for macOS
    • calendar.ps1 - PowerShell script for Windows
  2. Local Calendar Access - Direct access to system calendar

    • macOS: Uses JXA (JavaScript for Automation) to control Calendar.app
    • Windows: Uses PowerShell COM API to control Microsoft Outlook
  3. JSON Output - Structured data format for easy parsing

Platform Support

Platform Implementation Calendar App Status
macOS 10.10+ JXA + Calendar.app Calendar.app ✅ Fully Supported
Windows 7+ PowerShell + COM Microsoft Outlook ✅ Fully Supported
Linux - - ❌ Not Supported

Permissions

macOS

  • Requires "Calendar" access permission
  • User will be prompted on first use
  • Can be managed in: System Settings > Privacy & Security > Calendar

Windows

  • Requires Microsoft Outlook to be installed
  • May require administrative privileges for COM access

Changes

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.
