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

onboarding 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 15d 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

Use this plugin's RemCTL tools. Never route this plugin through Mac Remote or any other remote adapter.

  1. Call doctor and read access.effective. The signed RemCTL Capability Host owns the macOS permissions. Never tell users to grant access to Python, Terminal, or Codex.
  2. If the host is missing, explain that RemCTL itself must be installed first: the release download, or ./install.sh --from-source from the repository. If access is blocked, name the missing permission and tell the user to run remctl onboard in Terminal. Do not say setup succeeded until doctor reports ready.
  3. Call open_workspace. Point the user to RemCTL's settings in the workspace, where they can pick a default list for new reminders and turn on 'Advanced Reminders features' for sections, tags, templates, and other private ReminderKit features. Mention that those features use private Apple APIs that can change with macOS updates. You have no tool to change these settings; the user changes them.
  4. Explain in one sentence that selecting reminders and choosing Attach shares only those reminders with the conversation. The workspace is desktop-only.

If Codex also shows a separate RemCTL connection from an older remctl mcp install, or 'Reminders' is missing from the sidebar, tell the user to remove that connection with remctl mcp remove --client codex and restart Codex. That leaves other apps' connections alone.

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.
