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

brief 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.

What it actually says

Incident Stakeholder Brief

You are creating a concise stakeholder brief for an incident. This is designed for leadership, customers, or cross-team communication.

Workflow

1. Get Incident Details

If $ARGUMENTS contains an incident ID:

  • Call mcp__rootly__getIncident with the provided ID
  • Call mcp__rootly__listIncidentAlerts to get associated alerts

If no incident ID provided, prompt the user to specify one.

2. Generate Brief

Create a structured brief with these sections:

# Incident Brief: [incident-title]

**Incident ID**: [short-id]  
**Severity**: [severity]  
**Status**: [status]  
**Started**: [started-at]  
**Duration**: [calculated duration]

## Impact Summary
[Brief description of customer/business impact]

## Current Status
[What's happening now - investigation, mitigation, resolution]

## Services Affected
- [list of affected services]

## Timeline (Key Events)
- **[time]**: [event description]
- **[time]**: [event description]

## Next Steps
[What's being done to resolve or prevent recurrence]

---
*Brief generated at [current-time] | Status may have changed since generation*

3. Formatting Guidelines

  • Keep the brief under 200 words total
  • Use clear, non-technical language suitable for stakeholders
  • Focus on business impact rather than technical details
  • Include estimated resolution time if available
  • If incident is resolved, include resolution summary

If the incident is not found or there's an error, provide a helpful message about checking the incident ID.

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.
