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

nano-pdf 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.

What it actually says

nano-pdf

Use nano-pdf to apply edits to a specific page in a PDF using a natural-language instruction.

Quick Start

nano-pdf edit deck.pdf 1 "Change the title to 'Q3 Results' and fix the typo in the subtitle"

Creating a New PDF

nano-pdf create output.pdf "Create a one-page summary of quarterly results with a header, bullet points, and a footer"

Usage in SwarmClaw

When a user asks to create or edit a PDF:

  1. Check if nano-pdf is installed: which nano-pdf
  2. If not installed, install via uv tool install nano-pdf or pip install nano-pdf
  3. Run the appropriate command
  4. Report the output file path to the user

Notes

  • Page numbers are 0-based or 1-based depending on the tool's version; if the result looks off by one, retry with the other.
  • Always sanity-check the output PDF before reporting success.
  • For multi-page edits, run separate commands per page.
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.
