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

weird-jobs-you-didnt-know-existed 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.

What it actually says

Weird jobs you didn't know existed

Surprise them with real, apply-able niche titles — fun, not fake.

Tools

  • search_jobs with creative but real queries (mystery shopper, scent designer, escape room game master, pet sitter coordinator, prop maker, transcription, horticulture, museum educator, etc.)
  • get_job_details for the wildest shortlist
  • get_market_overview if they ask “is this even a real field?”

Workflow

  1. Infer interests from chat (animals, food, games, outdoors, people, making stuff).
  2. Search 3–5 niche title clusters + one adjacent serious path.
  3. Only recommend jobs that returned from tools — never invent employers.
  4. Explain in plain language what the job actually is.

Output

Buzzfeed energy, grounded facts. “Here’s the wild one / here’s the practical cousin.”

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.
