media-route

media-route is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SylphxAI/smart-reader-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (214 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing instruction for choosing the right local Sylphx Instrument for a media file. It identifies whether a file is a PDF, image, or video, then sends it to the matching reader.

In plain words
What is it for?
Opening local PDFs, images, and videos with the appropriate Sylphx reader.
Why use it?
It avoids making the agent guess which media-reading tool to call or installing a single combined reader.

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

media-route 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 10d 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

Media route (host skill — replaces Prism)

Route local media to the correct Sylphx Instrument without a router MCP.

When

Agent has a local file path and does not know whether it is PDF, image, or video.

How

  1. Sniff: PDF (%PDF), PNG/JPEG/GIF/WebP/TIFF signatures, MP4/MKV/WebM/QuickTime brands; extension fallback.
  2. Call one tool only:
    • pdf → Citra read_pdf
    • image → Iris read_image
    • video → Cue read_video
  3. For citeable follow-ups use that product's evidence tool (pdf_evidence, crop_region, video_evidence).

Do not

  • Install Prism / smart-reader-mcp
  • Spawn sibling MCP servers from a product package
  • Merge all media tools into one mega-server

Evidence

Each instrument returns its own evidence envelope (family v1). Routing decision can be noted in agent reasoning; it is not a product envelope.

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.
