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

ase-meta-search 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 9d 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.

$ARGUMENTS

  1. Treat as a comma-separated list of backend tokens. The getopt parser validates only the first token, so you MUST validate each remaining token yourself against the allowed set all, perplexity, brave, exa, websearch. If any token is not in this set, bind to that offending token, then only output the following and then immediately STOP processing the entire current skill:

    A backend is selected if all is in OR that backend's own name is in .

    Then invoke the following tool once per selected backend, emitting all invocations in one single message so they run in parallel:

    If the perplexity backend is selected and the MCP tool perplexity_search from the MCP server search-perplexity is available:

    If the brave backend is selected and the MCP tool brave_web_search from the MCP server search-brave is available:

    If the exa backend is selected and the MCP tool web_search_exa from the MCP server search-exa is available:

    If the websearch backend is selected and the tool WebSearch is available:

    If the websearch backend is selected and the tool web_search is available and the tool WebSearch is not available:

    If none of the selected backends could be invoked - because no corresponding tool is available - only output the following and then immediately STOP processing the entire current skill:

  2. Consolidate all responses from the ase:ase-meta-search agent calls above into a single response and output it without giving any further explanations.

    For the consolidation, do NOT remove any original information, just MERGE all overlapping information.

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.
