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

gitee-expert 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.

Gitee Expert - using gitee-mcp well

You have access to Gitee (gitee.com), China's largest GitHub-style platform. This skill teaches the effective workflows for discovery, intel, translation and webhook monitoring.

What the server does

  • Discovery: gitee_explore - the "humming" radar ranks popular seed repos by real commit/star/forks activity (works anonymously, rate-limited to ~60 requests/hour, responses are cached ~10 minutes). Token tier adds top-starred / top-forked via repo search.
  • Intel: gitee_repo - details, README, languages, commits, file contents and branches for any public repo.
  • Search: gitee_search - users (anonymous) and repos (token tier).
  • Translation: gitee_translate - Chinese to English via a local LLM (Ollama). Falls back to a dictionary gloss honestly flagged as partial.
  • Webhooks: gitee_webhook - feed of inbound push/star/fork events.

Workflows

1. "What is humming on Gitee?"

Call gitee_explore(operation="humming", limit=10) first. Repos carry activity_score, stargazers_count, forks_count, language, pushed_at and recent commits. For a language focus pass language="Python". For bilingual summaries pass translate=True - this invokes the local LLM per repo, so use it with limit <= 10.

2. Dig into one repo

gitee_repo(operation="details", owner=..., repo=...) first, then languages for the tech mix, readme for the story, commits for recent velocity. READMEs are often Chinese - gloss with gitee_translate.

3. Find a user or project

gitee_search(operation="users", query=...) works without a token. Repo search requires GITEE_TOKEN; the tool returns an actionable hint when it is missing - do not fake results.

4. Track events

If the user configured a repo webhook, gitee_webhook(operation="list") shows push/star/fork events with a one-line summary each.

Important notes

  • Rate limits: anonymous tier is 60 requests/hour. Prefer limit <= 20 and avoid translate=True on large lists unless the user asked for it.
  • Honesty: anonymous tier cannot return the platform trending page (Gitee blocks scraping). The radar's seed-based ranking is real data, not a simulation - dead seeds are dropped and reported.
  • Chinese content: descriptions are commonly Chinese; translation is best-effort and flagged when the provider is unavailable.
  • Tier upgrade: one line in .env (GITEE_TOKEN=..., free, no credit card) unlocks repo search and higher limits.

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.
