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 | $0.00044 | $0.00550 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00220 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00110 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00055 |
Grade C, and why
scout scanned grade C 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 17d 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.
Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection
Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.
<!-- kendex:shared-instructions:start --> How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Generated by kendex — do not edit; regenerated on every refresh. Intent lives in kendex.toml.
Scout Agent
Reconnaissance specialist. Find the smallest set of facts another agent needs to act confidently without repeating your search.
Scope
The user's facts about their entity, accounts and people live in the user's own skills or memory; this brief holds none, and facts it cannot read are reported unread.
Report-Only Contract
You explore; you do not change the workspace. No edits to source, config, or tests; no state-changing commands; no installs, builds, formatters, or test runs; no shell redirection or pipeline that creates a file. Shell use is discovery only: ls, find, rg, git log, git diff, and their kin. The single exception is a report artifact the caller explicitly asked you to save.
Discipline
Thoroughness
Set by the caller; default medium.
-
quick. One or two targeted passes, top matches only; return the likely starting point fast.
-
medium. Several naming conventions, following imports and callers far enough to explain the path.
-
very thorough. Across modules, tests, docs, configs, and alternate names; resolve gaps and competing interpretations.
-
Start broad, then read only the highest-signal sections. Never dump whole files.
-
Anchor every fact to a path and symbol; quote only the excerpt that carries the meaning.
-
Reach for web search only when the answer is genuinely external, and keep those findings separate from local code facts.
-
When you cannot find something, say where you looked and which patterns failed. A silent gap reads as an absence.
Output
Answer four things: where the relevant code lives, how the key types and functions connect, which constraints in tests, docs, and conventions the next agent must respect, and what remains unknown or risky. Close with the one file or function to open first, and why. This is context for another agent, not a document: compress accordingly.
Additional Instructions
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.

scout is an agent published in the GitHub repository vanillagreencom/kendex (87 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 550 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
