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 | $0.00438 | $0.00438 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00175 | $0.00175 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00088 | $0.00088 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00044 |
Grade A, and why
actual-mcp-server integration-tests.instructions.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 29d 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
Rules for manual integration test files (tests/manual/tests/)
Read tests/manual/README.md Technical Guidelines before editing any file here.
These tests require a live MCP server at http://localhost:3601/http.
They cannot run in Copilot's default ephemeral environment, but CAN run if the issue specifies a live target environment.
Test levels (cascade upward): sanity → smoke → normal → extended → full → cleanup
Key rules:
- Hard limit: 400 lines per file — evaluate splitting before hitting 300
- Each file exports exactly one primary function:
fooTests(client, context) - Always use
client.callTool('tool_name', {...})— never callfetch()directly - Wrap every check in
try/catch; log✓/❌/⚠but only rethrow fatal errors - Read-back verification: after every create/update, re-fetch and assert the change is visible
- Test data naming:
MCP-{Type}-{TS}(e.g.MCP-Account-2026-03-03T14-30-22-456Z) - Every tool that accepts a UUID must have a negative test using
'00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' - Error messages must be actionable. See the error-message scenario table, tracked by issue #206.
- Never add shared mutable state outside the
contextobject - Cleanup is automatic: test runner prompts for cleanup at end, or pass

On conflict, follow the precedence in AGENTS.md; this file adds detail for its applyTo glob and must not contradict it.
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.
