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 B, and why

upstage-document-parse scanned grade B with 2 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 9d 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Upstage Document Parse

Convert documents into structured HTML/Markdown. Recognizes layout elements such as tables, images, equations, and charts with bounding box coordinates.

Quick Start

import os
import requests

with open("report.pdf", "rb") as f:
    response = requests.post(
        "https://api.upstage.ai/v1/document-digitization",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['UPSTAGE_API_KEY']}"},
        files={"document": f},
        data={"model": "document-parse", "output_formats": "['markdown']"}
    )
print(response.json()["content"]["markdown"])

API Key: Always use os.environ["UPSTAGE_API_KEY"]. Get your key at console.upstage.ai.

Supported Formats

JPEG, PNG, BMP, PDF (up to 1000 pages with async), TIFF, HEIC, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HWP, HWPX

Sync vs Async

Mode Endpoint Max pages Max file size Notes
Sync /v1/document-digitization 100 50 MB Result returned in response (5 min server timeout). Best for ≤ 100 pages and quick turnaround.
Async /v1/document-digitization/async 1000 50 MB Returns request_id; processed in 10-page batches. Use when document exceeds sync limits or sync would time out.

Decision rule:

  • ≤ 100 pages and expected to finish within 5 min → sync.
  • 100 pages, scanned/complex content, or batch jobs → async.

For async submit/poll workflow, see references/async-workflow.md.

Key Parameters (Sync)

Parameter Default Common Values
model required document-parse
output_formats ['html'] ['markdown'], ['html', 'markdown']
mode standard enhanced (complex tables), auto
ocr auto force (always OCR scanned PDFs)
coordinates true false to omit bounding boxes

For full parameter reference and curl variations (enhanced mode, force OCR, base64 table images, LangChain integration), see references/sync-options.md.

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.
