In plain words

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-scripting 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 15d 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

Script-first automation

  1. get_tool_guide then get_app_capabilities
  2. macOS: run_script with language: "applescript" or "javascript" (JXA)
  3. Windows: run_script with language: "powershell"
  4. Use get_app_dictionary (macOS) for suite/command names
  5. Fall back to accessibility only if scripting fails or the app is not scriptable; for apps that draw their own UI, use OCR (read_window_text, click_text) and click

run_script is not in the default desktop profile: set COMPUTER_USE_PROFILE=scripting (or windows-admin, full). A script body naming a sensitive app is matched against the approval gate; COMPUTER_USE_REQUIRE_APPROVAL_FOR=run_script makes every script ask.

Examples:

  • Safari URL: tell application "Safari" to open location "https://…"
  • Windows: Start-Process "https://example.com"

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.
