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

planetscale-change-gates-and-approval-contract 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.

Change gates and approval contract

Purpose

Prevent accidental or autonomous changes that can affect availability, safety, security, data, or developer workflows.

Operation classes

Class A: read-only by default

Allowed without approval:

  • List databases, branches, keyspaces, webhooks, backups, roles, traffic budgets, schema recommendations, deploy requests, and Insights data.
  • Inspect repository code.
  • Read schema metadata.
  • Read non-sensitive database metadata.
  • Produce reports and proposed change sets.

Class B: state-creating proposals

Allowed by default; requires approval only when the operator has demanded strict no-mutation mode:

  • Creating a query-pattern report through an API POST, even if the result is read-only telemetry.
  • Triggering a webhook test event.
  • Creating temporary local branches or files.
  • Opening PRs or issues in external tools.
  • Creating database development branches.
  • Applying DDL or migrations to non-production development branches.
  • Opening deploy requests targeting a branch protected by a review workflow.

The last three are proposals inside an existing review system: nothing reaches production until a human merges or deploys. The gate belongs on the merge/deploy action (Class C/D), not on proposal creation. An agent that stops to ask permission to open a PR is misclassifying.

Class C: behavior-changing

Always requires explicit approval:

  • Enable safe migrations.
  • Disable safe migrations.
  • Change deploy request approval settings.
  • Create/update/delete Traffic Control budget or rule.
  • Move Traffic Control budget to enforce mode.
  • Create/update/delete webhook.
  • Enable raw query collection.
  • Enable/disable extensions or settings that require restart.
  • Create/update/delete role.
  • Reset passwords.
  • Change pg_strict settings.
  • Change connection pooling behavior.
  • Change IP restrictions, PrivateLink, PSC, or public access.
  • Change backup schedule or retention.
  • Create restore branch.
  • Create backup beyond automatic backups.
  • Change branch size or replica topology.
  • Edit repository files or dependencies.

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.
