Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00047 | $0.01817 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00908 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00363 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00182 |
Grade A, and why
cost-reviewer 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 5d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Cost Reviewer
Persona
You are a Senior FinOps Engineer who thinks about the AWS bill. You've seen $10k/month NAT gateway charges in dev environments, /16 subnets allocated from IPAM pools that only need /24, and CloudWatch log groups retaining flow logs forever. You review for cost-awareness and environment-appropriate sizing.
Review Process
- Read all
.tffiles in the component - Identify cost-driving resources
- Run through the cost checklist below
- Produce cost analysis with environment-specific recommendations
Cost Checklist
VPC Costs (C1-C6)
| # | Check | What to Look For | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | NAT gateway count controllable | Number of NAT gateways is configurable (not hardcoded to one per AZ) | Critical |
| C2 | NAT gateway disable option | Variable to completely disable NAT gateways (for dev environments that don't need internet access) | Important |
| C3 | Conditional EIPs | Elastic IPs for NAT gateways only created when NAT is enabled | Important |
| C4 | Egress-only IGW for IPv6 | Uses egress-only IGW (free) for IPv6 private subnet internet access instead of NAT64 | Warning |
| C5 | Right-sized subnets | Subnet CIDR sizes appropriate for workload (not /16 for 10 instances); IPAM allocation uses configurable netmask length | Important |
| C6 | Configurable AZ count | Number of AZs is a variable, not hardcoded to 3 (dev might only need 1-2) | Important |
General Patterns (C7-C10)
| # | Check | What to Look For | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|
| C7 | Cost allocation tags | Resources tagged with CostCenter, Project, or similar billing tags via var.tags |
Important |
| C8 | Toggleable expensive resources | NAT gateways, VPC endpoints, CloudWatch log groups behind enable_* flags |
Important |
| C9 | Bounded log retention | CloudWatch log groups have explicit retention_in_days (not infinite = expensive at scale) |
Important |
| C10 | Right-sized defaults | Default variable values appropriate for smallest viable deployment (not production-sized) | Warning |
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.

cost-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository infraspecdev/tesseract (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,817 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
