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 | $0.00022 | $0.05119 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.02048 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.01024 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00512 |
Grade A, and why
create-and-run-durable-agent scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Create and run a durable agent
This tutorial shows you how to create and run a durable AI agent using the durable task extension for Microsoft Agent Framework. You'll build an Azure Functions app that hosts a stateful agent with built-in HTTP endpoints, and learn how to monitor it using the Durable Task Scheduler dashboard.
Durable agents provide serverless hosting with automatic state management, allowing your agents to maintain conversation history across multiple interactions without managing infrastructure.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
::: zone pivot="programming-language-csharp"
- .NET 9.0 SDK or later
- Azure Functions Core Tools v4.x
- Azure Developer CLI (azd)
- Azure CLI installed and authenticated
- Docker Desktop installed and running (for local development with Azurite and the Durable Task Scheduler emulator)
- An Azure subscription with permissions to create resources
[!NOTE] Microsoft Agent Framework is supported with all actively supported versions of .NET. For the purposes of this sample, we recommend the .NET 9 SDK or a later version.
::: zone-end
::: zone pivot="programming-language-python"
- Python 3.10 or later
- Azure Functions Core Tools v4.x
- Azure Developer CLI (azd)
- Azure CLI installed and authenticated
- Docker Desktop installed and running (for local development with Azurite and the Durable Task Scheduler emulator)
- An Azure subscription with permissions to create resources
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.

create-and-run-durable-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository managedcode/dotPilot (25 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT.

Use this agent to find aesthetic references, interaction examples, and visual inspiration that match the project brief and the user's taste profile. Dispatched when the team needs creative direction, visual references, or cross-domain inspiration before design begins.
world-agent
A world-state and turn-management agent for the Kagurajima setting. It sends each turn to the active character agents, combines their results, and closes the turn with the final story.
