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

ferpa-education-records 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 12d 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.

FERPA Education Records

Overview

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects education records—records directly related to a student maintained by an educational agency or institution (or party acting on its behalf).

Concept Regulation Agent/EdTech relevance
Education record 34 CFR §99.3 Grades, discipline, IDs, biometrics, AI chat logs tied to student
Personally identifiable information (PII) §99.3 Name + student ID in agent prompts = FERPA PII
School official §99.31(a)(1) LLM vendor may be school official with DPA + LEA
Legitimate educational interest §99.31(a)(1)(i) Agent must have LEA-defined purpose
Directory information §99.37 Opt-out affects what agents may disclose
Parent/eligible student rights §99.10–99.12 Access, amend, consent to disclose
Recordation §99.32 Audit log of disclosures from agent systems

HIPAA interaction: Most K-12 health records in education records are FERPA, not HIPAA (except school nurse as covered entity in narrow cases—legal review).

AI agents: Tutoring bots, grading assistants, and analytics pipelines that store prompts with student identity are high-risk FERPA systems.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • EdTech SaaS or district deploys AI agents accessing student data
  • Drafting Data Processing Agreements with LLM/MCP vendors as school officials
  • Legitimate educational interest analysis for new agent features
  • Parent consent or notification for directory information / disclosures
  • Audit of agent logs, MCP Postgres, or Slack for improper redisclosure
  • State student privacy laws overlay (SOPIPA, PPRA, state §)—FERPA is floor

Do not use this skill when:

  • De-identified research datasets with no student IDs (may be outside FERPA—confirm)
  • Pure COPPA consumer app not acting as school agent (use coppa-children-privacy)
  • Employee (faculty) HR records (not education records)
  • PCI payment for tuition without student academic data

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.
