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

wacrawl 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 1mo 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

Wacrawl

Use this for WhatsApp Desktop archive questions. wacrawl is read-only against WhatsApp data and writes only its own archive.

Sources

  • DB: ~/.wacrawl/wacrawl.db
  • Source: ~/Library/Group Containers/group.net.whatsapp.WhatsApp.shared
  • Repo: ~/Projects/wacrawl
  • CLI: wacrawl

Refresh

Check source/archive health:

wacrawl doctor

Import a fresh local snapshot:

wacrawl import

Inspect counts:

wacrawl status

Encrypted Git backup:

wacrawl backup status
wacrawl backup push

Query Workflow

  1. Refresh/import if the question depends on recent WhatsApp state.
  2. Resolve chat, sender, date range, media needs, and keyword.
  3. Use CLI for chats/messages/search; use JSON for scripts.
  4. Report exact date spans, counts, chat names/JIDs, and import freshness.

Common commands:

wacrawl chats --limit 20
wacrawl messages --after 2026-01-01 --limit 50
wacrawl --json search "query" --from-them

Safety

Do not write into the WhatsApp app container. Do not send messages; this tool is archive/read-only.

Verification

For repo edits:

go test ./...
make test

Then smoke:

wacrawl doctor
wacrawl status
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.
