IoTDB is a database designed to collect, store, and analyze time-series data produced by connected devices. Industrial IoT systems use it when they need to handle large volumes of device measurements, fast reads and writes, and complex analysis. Catalogue add-ons support workflows for operating or integrating with IoTDB.

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 | $0.04190 | $0.04190 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01676 | $0.01676 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00838 | $0.00838 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00419 | $0.00419 |
Grade A, and why
iotdb 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 14d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to skills AGENTS.md — 237 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 236 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Overview
Apache IoTDB is a time series database for IoT data. It uses a distributed architecture with ConfigNodes (metadata/coordination) and DataNodes (storage/query). Data is stored in TsFile columnar format (separate repo: https://github.com/apache/tsfile). Current version is 2.0.11-SNAPSHOT.
Branch Relationship and Backports
masteris the primary development branch for the 2.x line.dev/1.3maintains the 1.3.x line. They have diverged in supported features, implementation, APIs, and dependencies (including TsFile);dev/1.3is not a mirror ofmaster.- A request to cherry-pick (CP) a
masterPR todev/1.3authorizes only that PR's changes and the minimum compatibility adaptations needed to preserve their logic on the target branch. The backport must be logically and behaviorally equivalent to the original PR. Do not make additional changes or use the backport as an opportunity to improve the surrounding code.
Cherry-picking from master to dev/1.3
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.
