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

topview-youtube-kol-ops scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

What it actually says

Topview YouTube KOL Ops

Merchant-facing YouTube creator research via the host's unified topview-mcp server (progressive disclosure; domain youtube_kol).

Step 0 — Bootstrap

  1. Confirm MCP server topview-mcp is connected (look for use_youtube_kol, get_tool_schema, call_tool).
  2. If missing, point the user to mcp.example.json~/.cursor/mcp.json, reload MCP.
  3. Do not run scripts/mcp_call.py, open SSE yourself, or use curl/raw HTTP.

Execution

Server: topview-mcp (unified). Never open SSE yourself.

YouTube KOL tools are deferred. Invoke via progressive disclosure:

  1. Read the use_youtube_kol description on tools/list (embedded Tools catalog). Calling use_youtube_kol only to list tools is optional.
  2. Pick a deferred youtube_kol_* name from the catalog or references/tool_routing.md.
  3. get_tool_schema with { "name": "<youtube_kol_*>", "domain": "youtube_kol" }.
  4. call_tool with { "name": "<youtube_kol_*>", "domain": "youtube_kol", "arguments": { "req": { ... } } } (confirm shape with schema).

Typical host tool ids: mcp__topview-mcp__get_tool_schema / mcp__topview-mcp__call_tool.
Prefer youtube_kol_auto_quote_saved over write tool youtube_kol_auto_quote unless the user explicitly wants a new saved quote.

UX Rules

  1. Prefer analysis and shortlists over CRM execution.
  2. Never invent subscriber/metrics; report empty/failed tool results honestly.
  3. Creative production → topview-generate.
  4. Match the user's language.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
