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

image-search 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

image-search (ZAI in-house, via z-ai SDK)

Searches public web images for a natural-language query, re-hosts each hit on OSS so the link is embeddable, and (optionally) attaches a short caption. The backend is ZAI's own self-developed image search service.

You do not call the backend directly, and you do not call the gateway HTTP API directly. Always go through the z-ai image-search subcommand from the z-ai-web-dev-sdk CLI — that's the only supported entry point.

When to activate

Trigger this skill when the user wants to:

  • Find images for an article, slide deck, PPT, blog post, or report.
  • Get reference photos / inspiration for a topic.
  • Embed pictures into generated documents with stable URLs.
  • Caption a set of images in Chinese or English.

Do not use this skill for:

  • Generating new images from scratch — use z-ai image (image generation).
  • Reverse image search ("what is this image of?").
  • Searching images inside a private corpus — this hits public web sources.

Prerequisites

z-ai-web-dev-sdk installed, providing the z-ai binary:

npm install -g z-ai-web-dev-sdk
# or:  bun add -g z-ai-web-dev-sdk

Invocation

z-ai image-search --query "<natural-language sentence>" [flags]

The CLI prints the JSON response (pretty-formatted) to stdout, or writes it to --output <path> if supplied.

Flags

Flag Default Notes
--query, -q Required. Natural-language sentence describing what should be in the image. Prefer one coherent concept; avoid mixing unrelated keywords.
--count, -c 5 Number of images to return. Range 1–20.
--gl cn Region code for localization. Common: cn, us, jp, kr.
--no-rank Disable captioning for a faster, caption-less response (default is on).
--output, -o Optional: write the full JSON response to this path.
--help, -h Show CLI help.

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.
