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

octotrip-rental-car-search 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 9d 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.

Search Parameters

Parameter Required Default Description
location yes -- Pickup location: city, airport, station, address, or landmark
pickup_date yes -- YYYY-MM-DD or natural-language date
dropoff_date yes -- Must be after pickup date
dropoff_location no same as pickup Different dropoff for one-way rentals
pickup_time no "12:00" 24-hour HH:MM format
dropoff_time no "12:00" 24-hour HH:MM format
currency no "EUR" ISO 4217 code (EUR, USD, GBP, etc.)
language no "en" Language code (en, de, etc.)
age no 30 Driver age, minimum 18

Handling Results

Results are grouped by SIPP car category (economy, compact, SUV, etc.) with the cheapest options per group.

Each result includes:

  • name, vendor, category (e.g. "Compact", "SUV")
  • price, price_per_day, currency
  • transmission (automatic/manual), passengers, bags, doors
  • fuel_policy, mileage (usually "Unlimited")
  • free_cancellation, free_amendment
  • deposit and excess amounts
  • included_protections -- list of insurance coverages
  • booking_url -- a link the user can open to book

Present results by category. Highlight the cheapest option overall and mention the deposit/excess amounts since they vary significantly between vendors.

When comparing options, note:

  • Pay now vs. pay later: some vendors split payment
  • Fuel policy: "Full to full" means return with a full tank
  • Free cancellation: important for flexible travel plans

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.
