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

release 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 2mo 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

Release an on-demand plugin

Prerequisite

The cc-loadout CLI must be installed (cc-loadout --version). If it is missing, tell the user to install it and stop.

Steps

  1. Resolve which plugin. If the user named one, use it directly. If not, list current holdings:

    cc-loadout profile on-demand list --json
    

    and ask which key (among those with live_holders > 0) to release.

  2. Release it:

    cc-loadout profile on-demand release <key>
    

    This releases only the CURRENT session's hold — if another session still holds the same plugin, it stays enabled for them (this is by design; holds are shared, not exclusive).

  3. If the user is trying to clear a stuck hold from a crashed session (they mention a plugin that's still on despite no session using it, or ask to "force" release), confirm with them first — this reverts it regardless of any other session that might still hold it — then run:

    cc-loadout profile on-demand release <key> --force
    

Boundaries

  • Don't --force without confirmation. It reverts a hold regardless of other sessions still using it — always confirm with the user first (Step 3), never fire it just because a plugin "looks" stuck.
  • Don't release plugins the user isn't done with. Only release keys the user names or confirms from the live_holders > 0 list — not every on-demand plugin the repo has ever acquired.

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.
