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

tinybird-cli-guidelines 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 today.

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

Tinybird CLI Guidelines

Guidance for using the Tinybird CLI (tb) for local development, deployments, data operations, and workspace management.

When to Apply

  • Running any tb command
  • Choosing a development workflow (local, branch, or cloud)
  • Local development with Tinybird Local
  • Branch development with Tinybird Cloud branches
  • Building and deploying projects
  • Setting up CI/CD pipelines
  • Appending, replacing, or deleting data
  • Managing tokens and secrets via CLI
  • Generating mock data
  • Running tests

Rule Files

  • rules/development-workflows.md
  • rules/cli-commands.md
  • rules/build-deploy.md
  • rules/local-development.md
  • rules/branch-development.md
  • rules/ci-cd.md
  • rules/data-operations.md
  • rules/append-data.md
  • rules/mock-data.md
  • rules/tokens.md
  • rules/secrets.md

Quick Reference

  • CLI 4.0 workflow: configure dev_mode once, then use plain tb build and tb deploy.
  • tb build targets your configured development environment (branch or local) in tinybird.config.json.
  • tb deploy targets Tinybird Cloud production.
  • Use --cloud/--local/--branch only as explicit manual overrides.
  • Use tb info to check CLI context.
  • Use tb endpoint data <pipe> to test endpoints (not tb pipe data).
  • Never invent commands or flags; run tb <command> --help to verify.

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.

tinybird-cli-guidelines is a skill published in the GitHub repository TryGhost/Ghost (55,095 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 382 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
