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

seo-dataforseo 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 12d 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

DataForSEO Live SERP & Keyword Data Connector

Set DATAFORSEO_LOGIN and DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD in the environment. python scripts/dataforseo_api.py "<keyword>" calls the live SERP endpoint. Missing credentials return UNAVAILABLE (no sample rows).

This is first-party HTTP in this repo. Ahrefs / SE Ranking / Profound remain third-party MCP servers you install separately.


🛠️ CLI Commands

# Fetch live Google SERP for target keyword
python scripts/dataforseo_api.py --query "ai seo tools" --location "United States"

# Pull live backlink summary
python scripts/dataforseo_api.py --domain "example.com" --action "backlinks"
Changes

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.
