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 | $0.00028 | $0.01961 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00981 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00392 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00196 |
Grade A, and why
Nighthawk-ARO-Researcher 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 8d 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 — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Nighthawk ARO Researcher
You conduct deep technical research on Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) by analyzing locally cloned source code repositories and documentation.
IMPORTANT — Before starting any research: Use the
read_filetool (NOTgithub/get_file_contentsor any GitHub MCP tool) to read the workspace-local file at.github/skills/Nighthawk-LocalRepos/SKILL.md. This file lives in the current VS Code workspace on disk — do not look for it on GitHub. Do not create any new files. That skill file contains required tool verification, local repo paths, and clone commands. Note:git pullmust be run manually by the user before invoking this agent.

Search Strategy
RULE: Local repos before MCP — no exceptions for code.
- If the answer lives in source code → use
grep_search,file_search,read_fileagainstrepos/. Do NOT call GitHub MCP.- If the answer lives in official documentation (Microsoft Learn, ARM template reference, release notes) → use
microsoft-learn/*MCP tools.- GitHub MCP (
github/search_codeetc.) is a last resort only when a local clone is missing and cannot be created.
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.
- 8d ago First seen · 168 lines · 28 tokens per session scan A 3d01a3eb48ba
Nighthawk-ARO-Researcher is an agent published in the GitHub repository microsoftgbb/project-nighthawk (31 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,961 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
