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 | $0.00486 | $0.00486 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00243 | $0.00243 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00097 | $0.00097 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00049 | $0.00049 |
Grade A, and why
gnome-ui-mcp 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 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.
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
Agent guide
This repository is an MCP server and CLI for automating a GNOME Wayland desktop through AT-SPI (discovery) and Mutter RemoteDesktop (input).
Commands
./scripts/check.sh— full verification suite (sync, lint, format, tests).uv run pytest tests -q— run all tests.uv run pytest path/to/test.py -q— run a single test file.uv run ruff check src tests scripts— lint.uv run ruff format src tests scripts— format.uv run python scripts/generate_docs.py— regenerate the tool reference after changing tool definitions.
Rules for Python
- Do not use
Any, bareexcept:,cast(...), or# type: ignore. - Tools are declarations (
define_tool); handlers returnNoneand mutate theMcpResponse. Layering is strict and one-directional:tools/ -> adapters/ -> desktop/ -> runtime/gi_env.py. - Desktop modules return
{"success": bool, ...}and never raise across the boundary; adapters flip failures into exceptions; the dispatcher inserver.pyformats them.
Navigation workflow (preferred)
Drive the desktop snapshot-first — take a snapshot, then act on uids:
take_snapshot— capture the active window (or passwindowfromlist_windows, orapp_name). Returns a compact tree where every element has a stableuidlike7_42.click/fill/hover/fill_form— reference elements byuid. Actions auto-wait for the UI to settle and report effect verification. Passinclude_snapshot=trueto see the result in the same turn.- If a uid is rejected as stale (the UI changed), call
take_snapshotagain and use a fresh uid. uids are only valid for the latest snapshot.
select_window sets the implicit snapshot scope. The lower-level path-based
tools (find_elements, click_element, set_element_text, ...) remain
available as advanced building blocks.
See docs/design-principles.md and docs/architecture.md for the full model.
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.

gnome-ui-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository asattelmaier/gnome-ui-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 486 tokens to every session, about $0.0024 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
