Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

astra-aigate 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 3d 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 Does

Unified AI service gateway web console managing three categories:

  1. LLM Providers — route /v1/chat/completions with combo fallback (290 in the catalog)
  2. MCP Servers — MCP gateway host: one server exposing multiple MCP endpoints, registered self-hosted MCPs (local stdio + remote HTTP/SSE)
  3. Auxiliary Services — health monitoring + reverse proxy for Camofox, SearXNG, etc.

UI ships 43 locales (British English base, zh-CN, zh-TW, and 40 more).

Tech Stack

Layer Choice
Runtime Node.js 26 (container, trixie-slim)
Database SQLite via better-sqlite3 (default) / PostgreSQL (opt-in)
API framework Fastify (carried from OmniRoute)
MCP SDK @modelcontextprotocol/sdk (TypeScript)
Frontend Next.js 16 (App Router) + React 19 + Expo Design System
Auth Password + API keys (JWT)
Deployment Podman multi-stage standalone build
Frontend build Next.js (webpack-only; Turbopack disabled)

Source Code Origins

  • src/ — OmniRoute's complete source (v3.8.50), fully preserved
  • LLM routing, provider/combo/API key management — from OmniRoute
  • MCP gateway — Phase 3 (completed: registry + multi-endpoint + bridge + admin tools)
  • Service monitoring — Phase 3.8 (completed: registry, health checker, UI)
  • Expo Design System — Phase 1 (completed)

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.
