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

modal-workspace scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

  1. 本地 apt/curl/git/pip/uv 因网络或权限失败时,不要反复重试本地容器,改用 sandbox_create + Modal 工具。
  2. 短命令使用 sandbox_exec;安装、下载、编译、长测试使用 sandbox_exec_start,再轮询 sandbox_job_status
  3. 同一任务尽量复用 sandbox_id,任务完成后 sandbox_terminate
  4. 读写普通文本文件优先使用 sandbox_file_*,不要为了简单文件操作拼复杂 shell quoting。
  5. 不得通过 envechoset、日志或聊天正文泄露 Secret。需要凭据时只传已 allowlist 的 secret_names
  6. 需要稳定低延迟创建 Sandbox 时优先使用 Named Image (image_name);临时依赖才用 apt_packages/pip_packages 动态构建。
  7. 可使用 function_spawn + function_call_get 处理已部署 Modal Function 的异步调用。
  8. 删除路径前核对目标;网关拒绝删除 Sandbox 根目录 /

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.
