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 | $0.00143 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00057 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00029 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00014 |
Grade A, and why
explain 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
Explain Concept
Get comprehensive explanations of technical concepts. Provides definitions, use cases, trade-offs, best practices, and learning paths without code examples.
Usage
/explain <technical concept>
Example
/explain event loop in Node.js and how it handles asynchronous operations
How it works
Provides deep explanations of technical concepts including definitions, use cases, trade-offs, best practices, and learning paths.
Command
Use the Gemini MCP server to understand concepts:
/mcp__gemini-mcp__explain-concept concept="{{arg1}}" context="{{@.}}"
Learning: Builds conceptual understanding to help you make informed technical decisions.
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.

explain is a command published in the GitHub repository neriousy/gemini-mcp (7 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 143 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 2026-08-31.
