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

glmv-caption 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/glmv_caption.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

GLM-V Caption Skill

Generate captions for images, videos, and documents using the ZhiPu GLM-V multimodal model.

When to Use

  • Describe, caption, summarize, or interpret image/video/document content
  • User mentions "describe this image", "caption", "summarize this video", "图片描述", "视频摘要", "文档解读", "看图说话"
  • Extract visual or textual information from media files
  • Compare multiple images
  • User provides an image/video/file and asks what's in it

Supported Input Types

Type Formats Max Size Max Count Base64
Image jpg, png, jpeg 5MB / 6000×6000px 50
Video mp4, mkv, mov 200MB
File pdf, docx, txt, xlsx, pptx, jsonl 50

⚠️ file_url cannot mix with image_url or video_url in the same request. ⚠️ Videos and files only support URLs — local paths and base64 are NOT supported (images only).

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.
