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 | $0.14763 | $0.14763 |
| Opus 5 | $0.07382 | $0.07382 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.02953 | $0.02953 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01476 | $0.01476 |
Grade A, and why
magpie 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 — 1,060 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS instructions
These instructions apply to any AI agent (or agent-assisted
contributor) working on this repository. The repository hosts a
generic, reusable framework for handling security issues for Apache
Software Foundation (ASF) projects. The framework is project-agnostic
by design — adopting projects configure their identity, rosters,
canned responses, release trains, and security model in their own
<project-config>/ directory (see Per-project and per-user
configuration below). Processes, canned responses, and onboarding
documentation are read by security-team members and, through the
canned responses, indirectly by external reporters. Small wording
choices matter.
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.
