TUUI is a desktop chat application that connects AI models to tools and other MCP servers through the Model Context Protocol, while coordinating APIs from different providers. It is intended for people who want a local interface for experimenting with LLMs, tools, and cross-vendor model services. The catalogue instruction helps guide work with the application.

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 | $0.00496 | $0.00496 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00198 | $0.00198 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00099 | $0.00099 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00050 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
tuui 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 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.

AGENTS Guidelines for This Repository
This repository contains an Electron application located in the root of this repository. When working on the project interactively with an agent (e.g. Codex, Claude Code) please follow the guidelines below so that the development experience – in particular Hot Module Replacement (HMR) – continues to work smoothly.
1. Use the Development Server, not npm run build
-
Always use
npm run devwhile iterating on the application. This starts Electron in development mode by Vite with hot-reload enabled. -
Do not run
npm run buildinside the agent session. If a production build is required, do it outside of the interactive agent workflow.
2. Keep Dependencies in Sync
If you add or update dependencies remember to:
- Update the appropriate lockfile (
package-lock.json). - Re-start the development server so that Vite picks up the changes.
3. Coding Conventions
- Prefer TypeScript (
.vue/.ts) for new components and utilities. - Co-locate component-specific styles in the same folder as the component when practical.
- For Vue-related components, prefer Vue 3 with the script setup syntax.
- Use Pinia as the preferred state management.
4. Project Structure
- When adding new files, be mindful of the differences between the renderer, main, and preload processes.
- For components required by the renderer, most can be reused from Vuetify.js’s existing components — only create new ones when absolutely necessary.
- For components needed by the main process, most can be reused from Electron’s built‑in APIs.
- After adding new files, re-start the development server so that Vite picks up the changes.
5. Useful Commands Recap
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
npm run dev |
Start the Vite dev server with HMR. |
npm run lint:fix |
Run ESLint checks and fix. |
npm run test |
Execute the test suite. |
npm run build:pre |
Production build – do not run during agent sessions |
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.
