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

ads-competitor 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 4d 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

What it actually says

Competitor Ad Intelligence

  1. Confirm named competitors, market, geography, customer, objective, and decision.
  2. Use official transparency libraries, public ads, auction data supplied by the operator, and other terms-compliant sources.
  3. Record capture date, platform, placement, observable creative/message, landing destination, and source URL.
  4. Separate direct observations from inferred audience, spend, performance, or strategy; never present estimates as account facts.
  5. Cluster durable themes, formats, offers, funnel paths, and gaps without copying protected creative or text.
  6. Return evidence-backed opportunities, risks, experiments, and source records.

Respect platform terms, robots and access controls, copyright, trademarks, and privacy. Do not bypass authentication or scrape private account surfaces.

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.
