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

New Zealand — NZ Companies Office 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 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.

New Zealand — NZ Companies Office Lookup

Live, direct-to-government access to New Zealand Companies Office (Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment).

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

What you get

  • Direct query to NZ Companies Office. Every tool call hits New Zealand Companies Office (Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment) 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. 7-digit NZBN suffix or 13-digit NZBN (e.g. 9429038949149 Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited).
  • Sample entity: Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited.

Available tools (jurisdiction = NZ)

search_companies, get_company_profile, get_officers, get_shareholders, list_filings, get_officer_appointments, search_officers, get_document_metadata, fetch_document

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

Example prompts

Pull Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited's full director list + shareholders
List Xero Limited's recent filings
Search NZ Companies Office for any director named 'Andrew Smith'

Workflow

Step 1 — Resolve the entity

search_companies({ jurisdiction: "NZ", query: "<name or ID>" })
get_company_profile({ jurisdiction: "NZ", 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 New Zealand

  • NZ has full public officer + shareholder data — among the most transparent registers globally.
  • NZBN (New Zealand Business Number) is the modern identifier; legacy company numbers (6-digit) still appear in older records.
  • Annual return filings include constitution amendments — fetch_document returns the raw filing.
  • Cross-border structures often use NZ entities — note the ultimate-holding-company field in profile.

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.
