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

gl-importer scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Synder Importer API

Import CSV/XLSX files into QuickBooks Online or Xero.

Setup

Getting an API Token

If the user doesn't have a token yet, guide them through these steps:

  1. Create an account at importer.synder.com and confirm your email
  2. Connect your accounting software — in the web UI, link QuickBooks Online or Xero via OAuth
  3. Generate an API key — go to Account → API Keys, click Generate. Copy the token immediately — it's shown only once
export IMPORTER_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"
export BASE="https://importer.synder.com/api/v1"

Trial users: Imports are limited by row count without a paid subscription. No subscription is required to use the API itself.

Data Privacy

  • Homepage: importer.synder.com | Docs: importer.synder.com/apidocs
  • Operator: Synder — synder.com
  • What's sent: CSV/XLSX files containing accounting data (invoices, bills, journal entries, etc.) are uploaded to importer.synder.com and forwarded to your connected accounting provider (QuickBooks Online or Xero)
  • Scope: API tokens are scoped to a single user account and its connected companies. Tokens can be revoked at any time from the web UI.
  • Recommendation: Always use dryRun=true first to preview before importing live data. Use non-production data for initial testing.

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.
