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 | $0.03698 | $0.03698 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01849 | $0.01849 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00740 | $0.00740 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00370 | $0.00370 |
Grade A, and why
camel-kamelets 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 331 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Apache Camel Kamelets - AI Agent Guidelines
Guidelines for AI agents working on this codebase.
Project Info
The Apache Camel Kamelet Catalog is the default catalog of reusable Camel route templates ("Kamelets"), distributed as Kubernetes-style YAML and consumed by Camel, Camel K, Camel Quarkus and Camel Spring Boot.
- Version: 4.20.0
- Camel: 4.20.0
- Java: 17+
- Build: Maven (
mvn verify); Go is required for thescript/andcrds/generators - Issue tracker: GitHub — https://github.com/apache/camel-kamelets/issues
- Related repository:
apache/camel(Camel core — the Kamelet runtime lives there, not here)
AI Agent Rules of Engagement
These rules apply to ALL AI agents working on this codebase.
Attribution
- All AI-generated content (GitHub PR descriptions, review comments, issue comments) MUST clearly identify itself as AI-generated and mention the human operator. Example: "Claude Code on behalf of [Human Name]"
PR Volume
- An agent MUST NOT open more than 10 PRs per day per operator to ensure human reviewers can keep up.
- Prioritize quality over quantity — fewer well-tested PRs are better than many shallow ones.
Git branch
- An agent MUST NEVER push commits to a branch it did not create.
- If a contributor's PR needs changes, the agent may suggest changes via review comments, but must not push to their branch without explicit permission.
- An agent should prefer to use its own fork to push branches instead of the
main
apache/camel-kameletsrepository, to avoid filling the main repository with uncleaned branches. - Branch names: fix-issue →
ci-issue-<ISSUE_NUMBER>, quick-fix →quick-fix/<short-slug>, CI fix →ci-fix/<short-slug>. Include the topic and issue number where possible. - After a Pull Request is merged or rejected, delete the branch.
GitHub Issue Ownership
- An agent MUST ONLY pick up unassigned GitHub issues.
- If an issue is already assigned to a human, the agent must not reassign it or work on it.
- Before starting work, assign the issue to its operator.
- Beginner tasks carry the
good first issuelabel; experienced tasks carryhelp wanted.
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.

camel-kamelets AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository apache/camel-kamelets (71 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 3,698 tokens to every session, about $0.0185 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
