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

azure 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.

Microsoft Azure Best Practices

STOP. Your knowledge of Azure may be outdated. Prefer retrieval over pre-training for any version-sensitive Azure configuration. Fetch current documentation when in doubt.

Standards for deploying and managing workloads securely on Microsoft Azure.

1. Identity & Access (Azure Entra ID / Active Directory)

  • Managed Identities: Use System-Assigned or User-Assigned Managed Identities for Azure resources (VMs, App Services, Functions) to authenticate to other Azure services (Key Vault, SQL, Storage) without managing credentials.
  • RBAC: Use Azure Role-Based Access Control. Assign roles to Entra ID Groups rather than individual users to simplify lifecycle management.
  • Key Vault: Never store secrets in application configuration files. Store them in Azure Key Vault and reference them using Key Vault References in App Services/Functions.

2. Compute (App Service, Functions, AKS)

  • Azure Functions: For production serverless, use the Premium plan to avoid cold starts and gain VNet integration capabilities, unless strict cost minimization on the Consumption plan is required.
  • AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service): Use Azure CNI for advanced networking. Enable Microsoft Entra ID integration for Kubernetes RBAC. Use Azure Policy to enforce pod security standards.
  • App Service: Enable VNet Integration to access private resources. Turn on "Always On" (Basic tier and above) to prevent the worker process from idling out.

3. Data (Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, Storage)

  • Cosmos DB: Carefully choose the Partition Key, as it determines scalability and performance. Changes to the partition key require data migration.
  • Azure SQL Database: Enable Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). Use Private Endpoints (Azure Private Link) to ensure database traffic never traverses the public internet.
  • Storage Accounts: Disable public network access on Storage Accounts. Use Shared Access Signatures (SAS) with short expiration times for temporary client access to blobs.

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.
