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 B, and why

configure scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/whatsapp:configure — WhatsApp Channel Setup

Writes WhatsApp Cloud API credentials to ~/.claude/channels/whatsapp/.env and orients the user on access policy. The server reads .env once at boot.

Arguments passed: $ARGUMENTS


Required env vars

The server fails fast if any of these are missing:

Var What it is Where to find it
WHATSAPP_ACCESS_TOKEN Long-lived System User token with whatsapp_business_messaging scope Meta App Dashboard → System Users → Generate Token
WHATSAPP_PHONE_NUMBER_ID The phone number ID (NOT the phone number itself) Meta App Dashboard → WhatsApp → API Setup
WHATSAPP_WABA_ID WhatsApp Business Account ID Meta App Dashboard → WhatsApp → API Setup
WHATSAPP_VERIFY_TOKEN Any random string you choose; you'll paste the same value into Meta's webhook config Pick a strong random string (e.g. openssl rand -hex 32)
WHATSAPP_APP_SECRET The Meta App Secret used for HMAC-SHA256 signature verification Meta App Dashboard → App Settings → Basic → App Secret

Optional:

Var Default Purpose
WHATSAPP_PORT 3789 Local HTTP port for the webhook receiver
WHATSAPP_SELF_PHONE (empty) Your own WABA phone — used to filter outbound echoes
WHATSAPP_PERMISSION_TARGET (empty) Phone allowed to answer Claude's permission prompts
WHATSAPP_PHONE_REGION intl Set to BR to enable Brazilian DDD9 matching heuristics
WHATSAPP_TIMEZONE UTC IANA timezone for local_time in notifications
WHATSAPP_STATE_DIR ~/.claude/channels/whatsapp Override the state directory

Dispatch on arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS (whitespace-separated). If empty or unrecognized, show status.

No args — status and guidance

Read state files and give the user a complete picture:

  1. Credentials — check ~/.claude/channels/whatsapp/.env. For each required key, show set/not-set; if set, mask everything except the first 6 and last 4 chars.

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.
