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 | $0.05708 | $0.05708 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02283 | $0.02283 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01142 | $0.01142 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00571 | $0.00571 |
Grade A, and why
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 5d 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 — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build
# Build (BC DevTools come from restore, see below)
dotnet build --configuration Release
# Run tests
dotnet test --configuration Release
# Pack as .NET global tool
dotnet pack src/ALCops.Mcp/ALCops.Mcp.csproj --configuration Release --output ./artifacts

BC DevTools dependency
The project compiles against proprietary Microsoft BC Development Tools DLLs (Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.CodeAnalysis, .Workspaces, .Analyzers.Common).
A plain PackageReference is impossible: as of 17.0 the Microsoft.Dynamics.BusinessCentral.Development.Tools package is DotnetTool + Template only, with all payload under tools/<tfm>/any/, and NuGet rejects referencing a DotnetTool package. Instead both csproj files declare a <PackageDownload> on a pinned version — which restores the nupkg into the global packages folder without referencing it — and point three <Reference> items at $(NuGetPackageRoot)…/tools/$(BcToolsTfm)/any/.
$(BcDevToolsVersion)— the compile floor, deliberately the lowest supported stable release. Compiling against the oldest SDK and running against newer ones is what makes forward compatibility hold; CI overrides this property to run its version matrix.$(BcToolsTfm)—net10.0by default, matching our own TFM (18.x ships bothnet8.0andnet10.0payloads; the 17.x line shipped net8.0 only).srcsets<Private>false</Private>, so the proprietary DLLs never enter the build output and therefore never enter the published package. This is the redistribution guard.testssets<Private>true</Private>on purpose: the CI compatibility matrix hot-swaps those three DLLs in the prebuilt test binary to run the same tests against every supported SDK version.
At runtime BcToolsLocator finds the DLLs in the user's own toolchain. The DevTools themselves are never downloaded at runtime; only ALCops' own analyzers are provisioned from NuGet (see below).
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.

mcp-server AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ALCops/mcp-server (8 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5,708 tokens to every session, about $0.0228 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 2026-09-13.
