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 | $0.00244 | $0.00244 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00098 | $0.00098 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00049 | $0.00049 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00024 |
Grade A, and why
cli-tools AGENTS.md 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 yesterday.
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
CLI Tools Agent Instructions
Project Purpose
cli-tools is the central source tree for service-specific Python CLIs built for AI agents and humans. It exists to expose external services through documented, JSON-first, testable command surfaces instead of ad hoc browser clicks or one-off scripts.
General Guidance
Use this directory as the project workspace for tasks that match the purpose above. Keep durable, project-specific instructions here and move reusable procedures into skills.
CLI Tool Skills
Always load and follow the repo-owned cli-tool skill before creating,
updating, testing, listing, troubleshooting, or running any CLI tool in this
checkout:
_repo/skills/cli-tool/SKILL.md
CLI-tool service skills live in this repository under _repo/skills.
When a task calls for a CLI-tool skill, load the matching skill from:
_repo/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
Do not load CLI-tool service skills from a user-level skill directory when this
repository contains the matching _repo/skills/<skill-name> bundle. Treat
_repo/skills as the source of truth for CLI-tool skill behavior in this
checkout.
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.
