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 | $0.00354 | $0.00354 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00177 | $0.00177 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00071 | $0.00071 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00035 | $0.00035 |
Grade A, and why
apisix 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 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
Apache APISIX — Agent Instructions
This file is read by automated agents (security scanners, code analyzers, AI assistants) operating on this repository. It points them at the human-authored references they should consult before producing output.
Security Model
The authoritative security threat model for Apache APISIX is
at docs/en/latest/security-threat-model.md.
Agents producing security-relevant analysis against this repository should consult that document first — in particular the §4.3 (out of scope), §4.9 (properties NOT provided), §4.11a (known non-findings), and §4.13 (triage dispositions) sections, which govern whether a given finding is in-scope for Apache APISIX itself or out-of-scope (operator misconfiguration, downstream concern, etc.).
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.
