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

check-pricing-changes 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 4d 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

When the user asks about pricing changes, vendor risk, or wants to stay updated on developer tool pricing, use the AgentDeals MCP server to check for recent changes.

Steps

  1. Use track_changes to retrieve recent pricing changes. Filter by vendor or change_type if the user is specific.
  2. For risk assessment of a specific vendor, use compare_vendors with a single vendor name to see pricing history, change frequency, and risk level.
  3. To audit an entire stack, use plan_stack with mode "audit" and the list of vendors the user is using.
  4. Use track_changes with include_expiring: true to find deals or free tiers that are ending soon.
  5. Highlight high-impact changes: free tier removals, significant price increases, and service shutdowns.

Examples

  • "Has anything changed with Heroku pricing?" → track_changes filtered to vendor "heroku"
  • "Is Vercel's free tier at risk?" → compare_vendors with vendors ["Vercel"]
  • "Audit my stack: Supabase, Vercel, Clerk" → plan_stack with mode "audit" and services ["Supabase", "Vercel", "Clerk"]
  • "Any deals expiring soon?" → track_changes with include_expiring: true
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.
