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

build-inline-keyboard 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 5d 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

Build Inline Keyboard

Quick Start

Use inlineKeyboardMarkup { } or inlineKeyboardMarkup(block) to create inline keyboards. Attach via markup() or inlineKeyboardMarkup { } on send actions.

message("Choose an option:")
    .inlineKeyboardMarkup {
        "Option A" callback "opt_a"
        "Option B" callback "opt_b"
        newLine()
        "Open link" url "https://example.com"
    }
    .send(user, bot)

Button Types

Type Syntax Use case
Callback "Label" callback "data" or callbackData("Label") { "data" } Button press sends callback to bot (1-64 bytes)
URL "Label" url "https://..." Opens URL when pressed
Web App "Label" webAppInfo "https://..." Opens Web App
Switch inline "Label" switchInlineQuery "query" Opens inline mode in another chat
Switch inline (current) "Label" switchInlineQueryCurrentChat "query" Inserts bot + query in current chat
Pay "Pay" pay() Payment button
Copy text "Label" copyText "text" Copies text to clipboard

Rows

  • Each url(), callbackData(), etc. adds a button to the current row
  • Use newLine() or br() to start a new row
inlineKeyboardMarkup {
    "Yes" callback "yes"
    "No" callback "no"
    newLine()
    "Cancel" callback "cancel"
}

Attaching to Messages

Actions with MarkupFeature (e.g. message, sendPhoto, editMessageText) support:

  • inlineKeyboardMarkup { ... } — builder block
  • markup(inlineKeyboardMarkup { ... }) — explicit markup

Callback Data Limits

  • 1-64 bytes for callbackData
  • Use prefixes for routing: "action:id", "vote:123"

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.
