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

Australia — ABR / ASIC Lookup 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 11d 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.

Australia — ABR / ASIC Lookup

Live, direct-to-government access to Australian Business Register (ABR) — ABN Lookup, Australian Taxation Office.

Single-country variant of the cross-border Cross-Border UBO Chain Walker. Use this skill when the user is explicitly focused on Australia.

What you get

  • Direct query to ABR / ASIC. Every tool call hits Australian Business Register (ABR) — ABN Lookup, Australian Taxation Office at the moment you ask. No nightly scrape, no aggregator middle layer.
  • Unmodified responses. Field names, status codes, and (where available) raw filing bytes are returned exactly as the registry's own system emits them.
  • Native ID format support. 11-digit ABN or 9-digit ACN (e.g. ABN 33 123 456 789, ACN 004 028 077 for BHP Group Limited).
  • Sample entity: BHP Group Limited.

Available tools (jurisdiction = AU)

search_companies, get_company_profile

For every tool, pass jurisdiction: "AU" (case-insensitive).

Example prompts

Find BHP Group Limited's ABN and confirm GST/operating status
Look up Commonwealth Bank of Australia by ABN
Search for all Pty Ltd with 'Coal' in the name in NSW

Workflow

Step 1 — Resolve the entity

search_companies({ jurisdiction: "AU", query: "<name or ID>" })
get_company_profile({ jurisdiction: "AU", company_id: "<id>" })

Step 2 — Pull the relevant register slice

Pick from the available tools list above. For UBO walks across borders, return to the Cross-Border UBO Chain Walker.

Quirks specific to Australia

  • ABR (ABN Lookup) is the open public dataset; full ASIC company data (officers, shareholders, registered addresses) is paid-only via ASIC's commercial channels.
  • ABN ≠ ACN. ABN is for tax/business; ACN is for incorporated companies (subset of ABNs).
  • GST registration date is in the ABR record — useful indicator of operational status.
  • Indigenous corporations (CATSI) and partnerships also have ABNs — filter by entity_type in profile.

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.
