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

fdcpa-tcpa 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 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.

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.

FDCPA/TCPA Compliance (Opt-In)

Verify compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Regulation F, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Enable this module for projects that handle debt collection, automated calling, or consumer communications.

When to Use

  • Projects handling debt collection workflows
  • Automated dialer or voice AI systems
  • SMS/email campaign platforms targeting consumers
  • Healthcare collections and patient billing

FDCPA / Regulation F Checks

1. Call Time Restrictions

Rule: No calls before 8:00 AM or after 9:00 PM in the debtor's LOCAL time zone.

Verify:

  • Time zone detection logic exists for each debtor
  • Call scheduling respects local time boundaries
  • Timezone edge cases handled (DST transitions, unknown timezone)
# Search for time restriction enforcement
(callWindow|allowedHours|restrictedHours|canCall|isCallable)
(before8am|after9pm|callTimeCheck|timezone.*check)
(localTime|debtorTimezone|recipientTimezone)

2. Call Frequency Caps

Rule: Maximum 7 calls per 7-day period per debtor per account.

Verify:

  • Call counting logic per debtor account
  • 7-day rolling window enforcement
  • Counter resets properly
(callFrequency|callLimit|maxCalls|callCap|callCount)
(7.*day|seven.*day|weekly.*limit|frequency.*cap)

3. Mini-Miranda / Validation Notice

Rule: Within 5 days of first contact, send written validation notice with:
- Amount of debt
- Name of creditor
- Consumer's right to dispute within 30 days

Verify:

  • Validation notice template exists
  • Auto-triggered after first contact
  • Contains all required disclosures

4. Do Not Call (DNC) Compliance

Rule: Honor cease-and-desist requests. Scrub against DNC lists.

Verify:

  • DNC scrubbing before outbound calls
  • Opt-out/revocation handling stops all automated contact
  • DNC list integration (federal + state)
(doNotCall|DNC|dncList|dncScrub|dncCheck|optOut|ceaseDesist|revocation)
