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

comet-research 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 8d 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.

Comet Research Skill

Use the Comet MCP server to perform deep web research via Perplexity AI's agentic browser.

Available Tools

Tool Purpose
comet_connect Connect to MCP-dedicated Comet browser (port 9223)
comet_ask Send research query and get response
comet_poll Check status of long-running research tasks
comet_stop Stop current task if going off-track
comet_mode Switch Perplexity mode (search/research/labs)
comet_folders Manage research spaces (list/create/save)
comet_library Search past research in Perplexity library
comet_screenshot Capture current page state

Quick Start

Simple Query (< 15 seconds)

comet_connect
comet_ask(prompt="What is [topic]?")

Deep Research (may take minutes)

comet_connect
comet_mode(mode="research")
comet_ask(prompt="Comprehensive analysis of [topic]", timeout=30000)
# If still processing, poll for completion
comet_poll()

Mode Selection Guide

Choose the appropriate mode based on the task:

Mode Use Case Speed
search Quick facts, definitions, simple questions Fast (5-15s)
research In-depth analysis, multiple sources, citations Slow (30s-5min)
labs Create files, apps, and visualizations Medium

Research Workflow

Step 1: Connect

Always start by connecting:

comet_connect

Step 2: Check/Set Mode

For complex research, switch to research mode:

comet_mode(mode="research")

Step 3: Send Query

comet_ask(
  prompt="Your detailed research question here",
  timeout=30000,
  newChat=true
)

Step 4: Handle Long Tasks

If the response indicates the task is still running:

comet_poll()

Step 5: Save Important Research

comet_folders(action="save", name="My Research Space")

Best Practices

  1. Always connect first before any operation
  2. Use newChat: true when switching to unrelated topics
  3. Use research mode for comprehensive analysis
  4. Poll for long tasks instead of long timeouts
  5. Cite sources from the response in your answer
  6. Save valuable research to spaces for future reference

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.
