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

template-execute 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 1mo 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

template-execute

Call the obsidian-router execute_template MCP tool with arguments parsed from $ARGUMENTS.

Arguments

Required:

  • name — path to the template file in the vault (e.g. Templates/Daily.md).

Optional:

  • vault — omit for default.
  • arguments — key/value object exposed inside the template via tp.mcpTools.prompt("key"). Note: directly under tp, NOT under tp.user.
  • createFile — if true, save the rendered output to targetPath.
  • targetPath — path where to save (required when createFile: true).

Argument parsing from $ARGUMENTS

  • bare path → name only, no createFile (preview mode)
  • name=X arguments={"k":"v"} createFile=true targetPath=Y
  • conversational: "execute Templates/Trade.md with ticker AAPL and create file Trades/AAPL.md" → infer the structure

Pre-requisites

The target vault must have the templater-obsidian plugin enabled. If the tool returns 503 with "Templater plugin is not available", surface that clearly.

Footgun — tp.mcpTools is NOT under tp.user

The obsidian-mcp-router-bridge plugin (which exposes /templates/execute) monkey-patches Templater so tp.mcpTools.prompt("key") returns whatever you put in the arguments map. This is directly under tp, not under tp.user (which is the convention for Templater user scripts) — easy footgun.

When writing a template that will be invoked via this skill, prompt arguments like:

<% tp.mcpTools.prompt("ticker") %>

NOT:

<% tp.user.mcpTools.prompt("ticker") %>   <!-- WRONG — returns undefined -->

After execution

  • If createFile was true: report the rendered content and confirm the file was written at targetPath.
  • If createFile was false: just show the rendered content (preview mode).

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.
