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

scraperapi-price-monitoring scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Price Monitoring

Given a list of products (ASINs, Walmart URLs, or free-text Google Shopping queries) and an optional baseline file, fetch current prices via ScraperAPI's structured endpoints, compare against the baseline, and produce a structured change report.

You — Claude — execute the API calls using the Bash tool. Do not generate a script for the user to run; fetch the data yourself in this turn and report findings as you go. If the user explicitly asks for a CLI/cron-able script instead, point them at scraperapi-cli and stop.

Auth: All transports authenticate against ScraperAPI. The MCP server reads the key from its own configured environment when the user set it up. The curl fallback reads $SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY from the shell. Do not run a standalone check for the key — just make the first real request. ScraperAPI returns 401 if the key is missing or invalid, and Phase 3's failure-handling table already covers that case. Adding a pre-flight echo only costs the user an extra permission prompt without learning anything you wouldn't learn from the first call.


Phase 1 — Parse the watchlist

Before fetching anything, classify each target. Different inputs route to different ScraperAPI endpoints, and routing wrong wastes credits.

Input shape Endpoint Required param
10-char alphanumeric (e.g., B08N5WRWNW) structured/amazon/product asin
URL containing amazon. structured/amazon/product extract asin from URL, fall back to url
URL containing walmart.com structured/walmart/product url
Free-text query (e.g., "airpods pro 2") structured/google/shopping query
Anything else Tell the user it is not supported by this skill; suggest scraperapi-autonomous-research for arbitrary URLs

Announce the parsed plan before running: "Watchlist parsed: 3 Amazon products, 1 Walmart product, 1 Google Shopping query. Baseline: prices.json (last updated 2026-05-25). Fetching now."

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.
