Apache Magpie is a framework of agent-assisted workflows for maintaining Apache software projects, including issue triage, pull-request review, contributor mentoring, and security-report handling. Apache maintainers and developers use it to delegate repetitive project work to coding agents while retaining human review. Its catalogue entries are the skills, instructions, plugin, and settings that implement these workflows.

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 | $0.00387 | $0.00387 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00155 | $0.00155 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00077 | $0.00077 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00039 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
magpie GEMINI.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 1mo 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 actually says

Apache Magpie — Gemini CLI extension context
Read the shared repository instructions:
@AGENTS.md
This context ships with the Apache Magpie Gemini CLI extension. Gemini has no plugin update/lifecycle hook (unlike Claude Code), so this file is how the extension prompts you to reconcile after an update.
Upgrade prompt
The Magpie extension declares its version in gemini-extension.json. At the
start of a session, compare that version against the value you last recorded
in magpie-plugin-version under the extension's state directory (create the
file if it does not exist):
-
If the version has changed since you last recorded it — the marketplace updated the extension — tell the user, once and non-intrusively:
Apache Magpie was updated to
<version>. If this repo adopts Magpie, run/magpie-setup upgradeto reconcile the snapshot, agentic overrides, and drift.Then record the new version.
-
If the version is unchanged, say nothing.
Never run the upgrade yourself: /magpie-setup upgrade is a guided,
user-confirmed action, and Magpie never mutates an adopter repo unattended.
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.

magpie GEMINI.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository apache/magpie (118 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 387 tokens to every session, about $0.0015 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
