What is lg-tv-remote?

A skill for controlling an LG webOS television over a local network, including its power, apps, volume, channels, inputs, text entry, and screen state.

Opening Netflix or YouTube, changing volume or channels, switching inputs, typing searches, checking what is playing, and viewing the current TV screen.

It gives an agent a defined way to operate the TV while handling pairing, startup, app navigation, and playback-screen limitations.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00066	$0.00714
Opus 5.5	$0.00026	$0.00286
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00013	$0.00143
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00071

Security

Grade A, and why

lg-tv-remote 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

LG TV Remote

Control the household LG webOS TV over the local network. Everything is local; nothing goes to a cloud service.

Required workflow

Call get_status first. It reports power, pairing, current app, and volume with no side effects.
If the TV is off, ask the user before turning it on with power_on. Booting takes about 15 seconds; if the result is "booting", wait briefly and check get_status once more.
On the first-ever control call the TV shows a pairing prompt on screen. Tell the user to accept it with the physical remote; the call waits up to a minute. Never retry a failed pairing in a loop — ask the user to accept the prompt and try once more.
Prefer launch_app to open apps instead of navigating menus with press_button.
For text search inside apps, focus the field first (arrows + ENTER via press_button), then type_text.
set_channel works only in Live TV; if it fails, open Live TV first with launch_app.
screenshot returns the current screen as a JPEG — useful for checking what state an app is in before pressing buttons. DRM-protected video (for example Netflix playback) captures as black; app UI and menus render fine, so a black frame usually means video is playing.
measure_sound_level and calibrate_sound_meter use the laptop's own microphone to gauge room loudness, not the TV — they still work when the TV is off. To hit a target loudness, loop measure_sound_level → set_volume → measure_sound_level until the reading lands where you want it. Before trusting the absolute dB number, run calibrate_sound_meter once: play steady sound, read the dB SPL a phone sound-meter app shows at that moment, and pass it in — the offset is saved and reused afterward. The very first capture triggers a one-time macOS microphone permission prompt for whichever app is hosting this MCP; accept it once.

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.
