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 | $0.05810 | $0.05810 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02324 | $0.02324 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01162 | $0.01162 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00581 | $0.00581 |
Grade A, and why
create-mcp-server 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 1mo 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 — 421 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
@agentailor/create-mcp-server
A CLI tool to scaffold new MCP (Model Context Protocol) server projects.
Working notes for anyone — human or coding agent — changing this repo. The README covers using the CLI; this file covers the invariants that are not obvious from the code.

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.

create-mcp-server AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository agentailor/create-mcp-server (14 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 5,810 tokens to every session, about $0.0232 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-20.
