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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00038	$0.00849
Opus 5	$0.00019	$0.00425
Sonnet 5	$0.00008	$0.00170
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00085

Security

Grade A, and why

bluebubbles 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 10d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to bluebubbles — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

BlueBubbles Actions

Overview

BlueBubbles is OpenClaw’s recommended iMessage integration. Use the message tool with channel: "bluebubbles" to send messages and manage iMessage conversations: send texts and attachments, react (tapbacks), edit/unsend, reply in threads, and manage group participants/names/icons.

Inputs to collect

target (prefer chat_guid:...; also +15551234567 in E.164 or [email protected])
message text for send/edit/reply

If the user is vague ("text my mom"), ask for the recipient handle or chat guid and the exact message content.

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.
