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

research-brief 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

Research brief

Answer the user's question with a concise, sourced brief — not a wall of text.

  1. Run web_search with 2–4 focused queries (vary the angle; don't repeat one phrasing). Open the most promising results with fetch_url when you need detail.

  2. Synthesise across sources. Structure the answer as:

    Answer — the direct conclusion in 2–4 sentences.

    What the sources say

    • Bullet each substantive finding, each followed by its source link.

    Confidence & gaps — how solid this is, and what's still uncertain or contested.

    Sources

    • Title — URL (one per source actually used).

Rules:

  • Cite only links that came back from a tool. Never invent or guess a URL.
  • Prefer primary/recent sources; flag when sources disagree.
  • Date-stamp time-sensitive claims; today's date is authoritative.
  • If the tools return nothing usable, say so plainly rather than guessing.
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.
