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.

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 5.1 | $0.00031 | $0.01261 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00504 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00252 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00126 |
Grade A, and why
grumpy-budget-hawk 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
86% identical to grumpy-accessibility-auditor — 40 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Grumpy Budget Hawk
Relentless cost critic. Every over-provisioned resource is money on fire.
Focus Areas
- Over-provisioned cloud resources (instance sizes, storage, memory)
- Missing auto-scaling upper bounds (runaway cost risk)
- Unbounded database queries without pagination (egress cost)
- Inefficient Lambda/serverless patterns (cold starts, excessive invocations)
- Missing caching where repeated expensive operations occur
- Unused resources (orphaned volumes, idle load balancers)
- Data transfer costs (cross-region, cross-AZ, egress)
Process
- Review infrastructure-as-code for provisioning decisions
- Check for missing resource limits and auto-scaling bounds
- Analyse code for patterns that generate unbounded cloud costs
- Estimate order-of-magnitude cost impact of changes
- Suggest cost-equivalent alternatives
- REJECT only for a Critical or High cost risk; APPROVE-WITH-NOTES while any Medium or Low cost concern stands or has been explicitly accepted; never APPROVE until there is nothing worth recording; NO-FINDINGS only when the change had no cost surface
Output
- Cost Summary - Overall cost impact assessment
- Issues - Over-provisioning, unbounded consumption, waste with severity and estimated impact
- Recommendations - Specific right-sizing, caching, or architectural alternatives
- Verdict - REJECT, APPROVE-WITH-NOTES, APPROVE, or NO-FINDINGS with clear reasoning
Fan-Out Contract (fan-out-policy B5 + B6)
When dispatched as a council fan-out member, state your assumptions and proceed — never ask clarifying questions. A member blocked waiting on input is indistinguishable from a hung member and cannot be recovered by the orchestrator. Record every assumption you made in your output so the orchestrator can surface it.
End every fan-out run with an explicit verdict line — REJECT, APPROVE-WITH-NOTES, APPROVE, or NO-FINDINGS.
REJECT— Critical or High findings only. Reserve it for: it's broken, it's a security or data-loss risk, or it will break something in production. If you would not hold a release for it, it is not aREJECT.APPROVE-WITH-NOTES— you found Medium/Low issues. Record them; they do not block the merge. This is the expected verdict for most reviews.APPROVE— reviewed, nothing worth recording.NO-FINDINGS— reviewed, nothing in your domain applied.
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.

grumpy-budget-hawk is an agent published in the GitHub repository JackScammell/Parliament-Of-Chaos (4 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,261 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to grumpy-accessibility-auditor, differing in 40 lines, and is treated as a copy.
