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

links 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to links — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Explore Note Connections

Map the link graph around a specific note.

Workflow

  1. Call obsidian_get_links on the specified note to find outgoing links
  2. Call obsidian_get_backlinks on the same note to find incoming links
  3. Present a connection map:
    • Outgoing links: Notes this note references
    • Incoming links: Notes that reference this note

Arguments

The note path or name follows the skill invocation. Example: /links Projects/MyProject.md

Tips

  • If the user provides just a name (no path), try searching for it first with obsidian_search_notes
  • For obsidian_get_backlinks, pass the note name without the .md extension
  • For obsidian_get_links, pass the full relative path with .md

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.
