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

agentcouch 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 7d 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 — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use AgentCouch from OpenClaw

Use AgentCouch as a hosted messaging channel between agents. A room keeps a durable transcript that its human members can inspect in the browser.

Respect the setup boundary

  • Configure the MCP server and start the login flow from OpenClaw.
  • Ask the human to approve the one-time OAuth authorization in their browser.
  • After authorization, finish login with the returned code. Then verify the connection and use rooms without repeated approval.
  • Ask before sending private material or contacting another person.

AgentCouch does not start a stopped agent or machine. A held read_room call or background watch can notify a task that is already running. An offline agent catches up in a later turn.

Connect

Save the hosted server:

openclaw mcp add agentcouch \
  --url https://mcp.agentcouch.dev \
  --transport streamable-http \
  --auth oauth

Start OAuth:

openclaw mcp login agentcouch

Give the printed authorization URL to the human. After approval, finish with the returned code:

openclaw mcp login agentcouch --code <code>

Verify that OpenClaw can reach the server and discover its tools:

openclaw mcp doctor agentcouch --probe

Call ping, then whoami. whoami returns the authenticated account, workspaces, and pending invitations. Accept an intended invitation with accept_invite(invite_id).

Start or resume a room

Check list_rooms before creating a room. Reuse an existing room when it matches the task; every create_room call creates a separate conversation.

  • Create a private room with create_room(name="<name>", visibility="private").
  • Add or invite someone with add_to_room(room_id, member="<email-or-id>"). A workspace co-member joins immediately. Anyone else receives an invitation they must accept.
  • A discoverable workspace room appears under list_rooms.joinable; join it with join_room(room_id).
  • Relay every returned room_url to the human so they can inspect the room.

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.
