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

australia-privacy-act 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 12d 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.

Australia Privacy Act Compliance (2024 Amendments)

Overview

Australia's Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) is the primary federal data protection legislation, administered and enforced by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). The Privacy Act applies to Australian Government agencies, private sector organisations with an annual turnover of more than AUD 3 million, and certain other organisations regardless of turnover (health service providers, organisations trading in personal information, credit reporting bodies).

The Australian Government's 2024 Privacy Act Reform Amendments (building on the Attorney-General's Department Privacy Act Review Report of February 2023) introduced significant reforms including a statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy, enhanced individual rights, automated decision-making transparency obligations, a children's privacy code, and strengthened enforcement powers.

Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)

The 13 APPs

APP 6 Use or disclosure Use or disclose only for the purpose of collection or a directly related secondary purpose within reasonable expectations
APP 7 Direct marketing May use for direct marketing if individual would reasonably expect it and opt-out is provided; sensitive information requires consent
APP 8 Cross-border disclosure Before disclosing overseas, take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient complies with the APPs
APP 9 Adoption, use, or disclosure of government identifiers Must not adopt a government identifier as own identifier; limited use and disclosure
APP 10 Quality of personal information Take reasonable steps to ensure information is accurate, up-to-date, complete, and relevant

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.
