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-market-scout 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.

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

Local Market Scout

Use this skill to evaluate a local market in a practical, business-first way.

Workflow

  1. Start with google_maps_search to find businesses in the target city or category.
  2. Keep only the most relevant places by rating, review count, and business fit.
  3. If the user needs deeper insight, call google_maps_reviews for the shortlisted places.
  4. Summarize:
    • strongest businesses
    • common customer expectations
    • obvious market gaps
  • location
  • category
  • ideal review threshold
  • whether the user wants just discovery or review analysis too

Preferred Tool Pattern

Step 1. Discovery

Use google_maps_search.

Good arguments:

{
  "query": ["bars kyiv ukraine"],
  "limit": 20,
  "language": "en",
  "region": "ua",
  "fields": ["name", "full_address", "rating", "reviews", "place_id"],
  "execution_mode": "sync"
}

Step 2. Review Analysis

Use google_maps_reviews on the shortlisted place_id values.

{
  "query": ["PLACE_ID_1", "PLACE_ID_2"],
  "reviews_limit": 40,
  "sort": "newest",
  "language": "en",
  "execution_mode": "sync"
}

Output Style

Return:

  • top candidates
  • one-paragraph market summary
  • review-driven insights if review analysis was requested

Do not dump raw records unless the user explicitly asks for them.

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.
