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

announce 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 8d 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.

Incident Announcement

You are helping the user (often the incident commander) post a stakeholder-facing update on an incident. Write action — explicit confirmation required.

Workflow

1. Resolve the incident

$ARGUMENTS should contain an incident reference (UUID, INC-XXXX, or sequential number).

  • If empty: call mcp__rootly__listIncidents with filter_status="started", page_size=10, and sort="-started_at" and ask the user which incident to announce.
  • Otherwise call mcp__rootly__getIncident with the incident reference exactly as provided. The MCP server accepts UUIDs plus sequential forms like 4460, #4460, and INC-4460.

Once resolved, use the returned incident record for the full context.

2. Identify the publication target

Inspect the incident record for:

  • An attached status page (often status_page_id or similar field)
  • Public-facing flag (is_public / private)

If the incident has a status page attached:

  • Call mcp__rootly__getStatusPage for the page details (name, URL).
  • Call mcp__rootly__listStatusPageTemplates to surface preset update templates.

If no status page is attached, fall back to posting an incident event that surfaces in Rootly's internal stream — call mcp__rootly__createIncidentEvent instead. Make the distinction clear to the user.

3. Draft the update

Compose a 2–4 sentence update with this structure:

[Status verb: "Investigating" / "Identified" / "Monitoring" / "Resolved"] — [one-sentence summary of customer impact].
[Optional: what we know about the cause, briefly.]
[Optional: what we're doing about it.]
[Next update: in [duration] / when status changes.]

Keep it stakeholder-grade: no Rootly internal IDs, no engineer names, no jargon.

4. Show the draft

**Incident**: [INC-XXXX] [title] — [severity], [status]
**Posting to**: [Status page name + URL] | [Internal incident stream if no status page]
**Visibility**: [Public / Internal]

**Draft update:**

> [the drafted message]

Confirm to post this update? (yes / edit / no)

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.
