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 | $0.02591 | $0.02591 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01295 | $0.01295 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00518 | $0.00518 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00259 | $0.00259 |
Grade D, and why
icici-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 2 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 8d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

CLAUDE.md - Project Context for icici-mcp
Project Overview
icici-mcp is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ICICI Direct Breeze Connect that enables trading Indian stocks through natural conversation with any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
- Author: Amit Ranjan (aranjan)
- Repository: https://github.com/aranjan/icici-mcp
- PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/icici-mcp/

Architecture
User (natural language) -> AI Assistant -> icici-mcp (MCP/stdio) -> ICICI Direct Breeze API
- Built with FastMCP (from the
mcpPython package) - Runs as a stdio server (local, not hosted)
- Auto-authenticates using Playwright headless Chromium + TOTP via
pyotp - ICICI Direct blocks plain HTTP login automation — Playwright is required to render the JS login page
- Token cached at
~/.icici_direct_token.json(expires daily) - Uses breeze-connect SDK for ICICI Direct API communication
- Users must run
playwright install chromiumonce after pip install
Broader System Context
icici-mcp is part of a multi-broker trading system:
Claude Desktop
├── kite-mcp → Zerodha portfolio + orders (auto TOTP)
├── zerodha-official → Free quotes for any NSE stock (browser OAuth)
├── icici-mcp → ICICI Direct portfolio + orders (Playwright TOTP)
├── finance MCP → Technical analysis (RSI, MACD, Bollinger, MA)
└── Slack MCP → Post to #kite-portfolio

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.
