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

telnyx-ai-assistants-ruby 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.

Telnyx AI Assistants - Ruby

Installation

gem install telnyx

Setup

require "telnyx"

client = Telnyx::Client.new(
  api_key: ENV["TELNYX_API_KEY"], # This is the default and can be omitted
)

All examples below assume client is already initialized as shown above.

Error Handling

All API calls can fail with network errors, rate limits (429), validation errors (422), or authentication errors (401). Always handle errors in production code:

assistant = client.ai.assistants.create(instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.", name: "my-resource", model: "openai/gpt-4o")
puts(assistant)

Common error codes: 401 invalid API key, 403 insufficient permissions, 404 resource not found, 422 validation error (check field formats), 429 rate limited (retry with exponential backoff).

Important Notes

  • Phone numbers must be in E.164 format (e.g., +13125550001). Include the + prefix and country code. No spaces, dashes, or parentheses.
  • Pagination: Use .auto_paging_each for automatic iteration: page.auto_paging_each { |item| puts item.id }.

Reference Use Rules

Do not invent Telnyx parameters, enums, response fields, or webhook fields.

Core Tasks

Create an assistant

Assistant creation is the entrypoint for any AI assistant integration. Agents need the exact creation method and the top-level fields returned by the SDK.

client.ai.assistants.create()POST /ai/assistants

Parameter Type Required Description
name string Yes
instructions string Yes System instructions for the assistant.
tags array[string] No Tags associated with the assistant.
model string No ID of the model to use when external_llm is not set.
tools array[object] No Deprecated for new integrations.
... +23 optional params in references/api-details.md

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.
