2.3.0 — The warning that cried wolf
Every profile run was warning that its prices were 68 days old, on prices
read that week. The warning says, in these words, that the price table behind
every dollar here was last reviewed on that date. On a report of Claude and
OpenAI calls it named 2026-06-24 — a date belonging to two models that report
never touched — while the prices actually used had been read four days and zero
days earlier.
The date it printed is the oldest provider's, which is the right answer to
how old is this catalogue and the wrong answer to how old are the prices in
front of me. Three surfaces used it: the CLI's profile, the MCP report and
the browser's bill.
The second cost is worse than the wrong figure. A warning that fires on
every run is one people stop reading, so on the day the table really is stale,
nothing has been said that was not said yesterday.
trazum models had already worked this out and prints its dates per provider,
because a reader pricing Claude calls should not be told two months when their
half was checked that morning. The fix reached one surface and not the three
that qualify a figure. It has now.
profile --json gains reportReviewed and reportAgeDays beside
lastReviewed and ageDays, which go on meaning exactly what they meant: the
table's own oldest provider. Two questions, two pairs of keys, and nothing a
consumer branches on changed underneath it.
The skill is written for any agent now, not for one
Trazum's agent-facing skill opened by telling the reader to run npm install
and then spelled every example as node packages/cli/dist/index.js, fifteen
times. An agent with an MCP client and no shell was handed a document about a
shell. An agent working in somebody else's repository was handed a path that
does not exist there.
Every command is spelled trazum <command> now, and one table at the top says
how to spell that for whichever door you have: a shell in a checkout, a shell
anywhere else, MCP tools and no shell, a library import, or a browser.
## Through MCP is new, and it is the point of the change. For an agent
with no shell the MCP server is the whole product, and the skill mentioned it
nowhere. It now carries the seven tools, the client-agnostic stdio wiring, and
the one rule that decides whether any of it works: the server never opens a
file, every tool takes the text, and an agent that passes a path gets nothing
back that means anything.
## Before you spend is new too, and it is the moment the skill has always
claimed to be for — a budget exists, a call is about to be made, nobody knows
whether it fits. Both doors are named, and so are the three ways to get it
wrong: cannot-tell is not a yes, the ceiling is never invented so a check can
pass, and what has been spent is measured while what the next call costs is an
estimate.
One claim in it was false. from-litellm, from-helicone and
from-langsmith were described as named as next but not built for the whole
arc after they shipped, so an agent asked about a LiteLLM export offered to
write a converter that had been there for releases. All five converters now sit
in one table, with from-otel named as the one to offer when you do not know
what somebody runs — it is the standards-based door and does not depend on
which vendor they chose.
Three guards now hold the skill to the code, all derived from it: every command
it tells an agent to run is one the CLI dispatches, its MCP tool table equals
the set the server registers in both directions, and every converter that
exists is mentioned. The false claim above is exactly what the third one
catches.
Prices
Nothing moved. OpenAI was read on 2026-08-31 and Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek
and Mistral within four days of it. xai and moonshot stay at 2026-06-24:
grok-4 is absent from the model list xAI's own docs serve and kimi-k2 from
the llms.txt Moonshot publishes, so there is no price to re-read, and moving
the date would say a check happened that did not. Neither is marked retired —
that needs the provider refusing a real request in its own words, and a page
that stopped mentioning a model has refused nothing.
