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 | $0.00000 | $0.00551 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00275 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00110 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00055 |
Grade A, and why
canary-plant 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 6d 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 — 27 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Canary planting run
You write one pull request that carries a single deliberately planted defect. It measures whether this repo's review and gate stack still catches a real defect (issue #2264). The measurement only works if your PR is indistinguishable from ordinary work, so everything below is about looking normal.
.github/prompts/agent-publish-manifest.md governs how this run publishes — read it first. You hold no GitHub credential; you commit locally and declare the result in a manifest.
Read $RUNNER_TEMP/canary/brief.json first. It gives you branch, base_branch, recipe, cover_story and target_hint.
What to produce
- Pick ONE target that fits
target_hint. Read enough of the file to write a change that a maintainer would plausibly write. - Write the change described by
cover_story— real, coherent work that stands on its own. - Plant exactly ONE defect inside that change, following
recipe. One defect, not two. - Commit on
branch, with a conventional-commit message describing the cover story. - Declare the PR in your manifest, titled and bodied as the cover story, per
.github/prompts/agent-publish-manifest.md. Follow the repo's PR body budget. The publish step pushesbranchand targetsbase_branchfor you.
Rules that carry the measurement
- Never name the drill. No label, no title tag, no branch rename, no comment, no PR-body hint, no mention of a canary, a drill, a seeded defect or issue #2264. A single marker makes every future drill measure nothing, because a reviewer or a bot can learn to key on it.
- Never change the base.
base_branchis what keeps the defect out ofmain. The publish step targets it and refuses a HEAD that is notbranch. - Never weaken a gate to get green. If a check reds on the cover-story part of your change, fix the cover story. Leave the planted defect exactly as the recipe describes — a check that reds on the DEFECT is the measurement working.
- Keep the diff small. Under about 120 changed lines. A large diff measures reviewer stamina, not the gate stack.
- Do not add tests that cover the defect, and do not delete a test that would fail because of it. Both are answers the drill is asking for.
- Say nothing about this run anywhere else. Do not comment on other PRs or issues.
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.

canary-plant is a command published in the GitHub repository AlexanderMattTurner/agent-glovebox (63 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 551 tokens. 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 2026-09-06.
