What is policy-lookup?

A policy search and explanation tool for answering employee questions about benefits, leave, travel, expenses, and handbook rules. It can use pasted handbook content or connected company knowledge bases.

Use it to check questions such as paid time off, working remotely from another country, expenses, benefits, and other company procedures.

It removes the need to search through long policy documents or interpret workplace wording alone. Answers are written in plain language, with connected systems optionally providing employee-specific details.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00053	$0.00766
Opus 5.5	$0.00021	$0.00306
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00153

Security

Grade A, and why

policy-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 13d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

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.
