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

numbers 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

Driving Apple Numbers with background computer use

Use these rules in addition to the main computer-use skill:

  1. Always call get_app_state app="Numbers" before interacting.
  2. A single click selects a cell; double-click or press_key key="Return" enters edit mode. Triple-click selects the cell's existing value.
  3. Use Tab / shift+Tab / Return / shift+Return to move between cells — never embed those as literal characters in type_text.
  4. Prefer set_value on Format-inspector numeric inputs (settable=true).
  5. For multi-cell selection, use drag from the top-left cell to the bottom-right cell.
  6. Always re-call get_app_state after switching sheets — the entire tree changes.

Detailed behavior lives in server/app-hints/Numbers.md, which is injected into <app_hints> on every get_app_state call for Numbers.

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.
