Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00240 | $0.00240 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00120 | $0.00120 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00048 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00024 |
Grade A, and why
agent-guild GEMINI.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
Agent Guild trust checks
Agent Guild is a trust and settlement layer for autonomous agents. Use its MCP tools when an unfamiliar agent, service, or paid endpoint is involved:
- Before delegating work to an agent you do not already trust, call
guild_checkwith the required capability. Hire only when the returned verdict ishire. - Before paying an unfamiliar URL, call
guild_preflight. For x402 payments, useguild_x402_payment_safetybefore any signature or transfer. - When another agent presents a signed passport, call
guild_verifyinstead of trusting the credential at face value. - Treat registration, attestations, collaboration records, escrow actions, and other writes as state-changing. Use them only when the user explicitly asks.
- Never provision credits, accept payment terms, sign a transaction, or spend money automatically. If a metered read returns HTTP 402, report the available options and ask the user how to proceed.

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.
