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 | $0.00319 | $0.00319 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00128 | $0.00128 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00064 | $0.00064 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
OpenAra 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 2mo 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
OpenAra agent guide
OpenAra is Ara's open-source Computer Use server for macOS — a local MCP server exposing nine desktop-control tools to any AI agent.
Read first
- README.md — what OpenAra is and how to run it.
- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md — module map and runtime layering.
Working rules
- Reply in the language the user is using.
- Verify changes with
swift buildandswift testbefore claiming a task is done. - Don't reintroduce the Linux/Windows runtimes — OpenAra is macOS-only by design.
- The nine MCP tool names and argument schemas are frozen by OpenAI's Computer Use spec; refactor implementations freely, but never the wire surface.
- Keep upstream attribution in
LICENSEand the README "Credits" section. MIT requires the original copyright notice to remain.

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.
