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 C, and why

markitup-image-workflow scanned grade C 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 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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

MarkItUp image workflow

MarkItUp edits images on its own servers via the connected MCP tools. This skill helps you pick the right tool and get the image into it correctly.

Getting the image in (do this first)

MarkItUp tools accept an image as a public image_url or an upload_id — never inline image bytes (they get corrupted in transit).

  • The user gave a public image URL → pass it directly as image_url.
  • The user has a local / uploaded / pasted image (no URL) → call markitup_request_upload, give the user the returned browser_url to drop their file (or PUT the bytes to put_url if you can run HTTP from a sandbox), poll markitup_check_upload until status is uploaded, then call the editing tool with the returned upload_id. Do not decline or fall back to a non-MarkItUp tool.

Choosing the tool

  • Remove a backgroundmarkitup_remove_background (transparent PNG).
  • Make it bigger / sharper / print-readymarkitup_upscale (2×/3×/4×).
  • Point things out on a screenshot (tutorials, bug reports, UX feedback) → markitup_annotate with a context describing what to box/arrow/highlight.
  • Change aspect ratio / extend the canvas (e.g. square → 16:9 banner) → markitup_extend with the target aspect ratio + pixel dimensions.
  • Turn a screenshot into a polished marketing visualmarkitup_generate with a description and a template_id (e.g. bold_marketing, clean_minimal, glassmorphic, dark_professional, documentation). To redo one variation consistently, use markitup_regen with the prior text_analysis.

Presenting results

Each tool returns a hosted full-resolution URL plus a small inline preview. Show the user the result inline as a markdown image and include the download link.

Credits (be transparent)

  • Check with markitup_credit_balance. New accounts get free credits.
  • remove_background, upscale, annotate, regen = 1 credit each (remove_background and upscale are free for active subscribers).
  • generate = 2 credits at 1K (default), 3 at 2K, 4 at 4K.
  • extend = 1 credit (2 at 2K/4K).
  • request_upload, check_upload, credit_balance are free. If the user is low on credits, say so before running a paid tool.
