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

computer-use 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 8d 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

Computer Use (desktop automation)

When to use

  • Native desktop apps, installers, modal dialogs, simulators
  • UI-only workflows with no API/CLI

When NOT to use

  • Prefer connectors, shell, filesystem, or browser automation (Playwright) first

Mandatory first steps

  1. get_tool_guide({ task_description }) — pick scripting vs AX vs coordinates
  2. get_app_capabilities({ bundle_id }) — is the app scriptable/accessible/running?
  3. Prefer run_script → accessibility (fill_form, click_element) → left_click/type last

Hard rules

  • Always set target_app (bundle ID macOS / process name Windows) or target_window_id
  • Do not screenshot every step; use get_ui_tree / find_element for structure
  • Long text: write_clipboard + paste shortcut, not type
  • On focus failure, follow suggestedRecovery (activate_window, unhide_app, open_application)
  • Use focus_strategy: "prepare_display" only after a focus race

Safety

  • Destructive: process_kill, filesystem delete/write, registry set/delete, run_script
  • Sensitive apps may need approval_token or host elicitation
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.
