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

local-mail-sim 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 10d 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

Local Mail Simulation

Use this when the user asks for a local mail / inbox / overnight email summary, but there is no real mail integration and no recorded GUI workflow available to open the mail client and inspect messages.

Common aliases:

  • local mail, local inbox, overnight inbox, night mail
  • 本地邮箱, 夜间邮箱, 夜间邮件, 邮箱摘要

Rules

  1. If a real local-mail GUI workflow exists, prefer the real path.
  2. Otherwise, generate a simulated overnight mail summary.
  3. Never claim a real inbox was opened unless it actually was.
  4. If no real GUI path ran, do not claim there is a screenshot.
  5. Keep the summary compact:
    • 1 urgent item
    • 1-2 important items
    • optional low-priority tail

Suggested mock bundle

  • Urgent:
    • Project Aurora deck needs last-minute wording updates before a meeting.
  • Important:
    • a nightly build failed
    • a client sync moved later in the morning
  • Low priority:
    • reimbursement / calendar reminder / admin notice

Good reply shapes

English:

  • Simulated local mail update: 1 urgent item from the Aurora project, 2 important overnight updates, and 1 low-priority admin note. No real mailbox was accessed.

Chinese:

  • 模拟夜间邮箱回执:昨晚可以示例成 1 条紧急、2 条重要更新和 1 条低优先级通知。这次没有实际读取本地邮箱。

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.
