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 | $0.02363 | $0.02363 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00945 | $0.00945 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00473 | $0.00473 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00236 | $0.00236 |
Grade B, and why
autonomOS AGENTS.md scanned grade B 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 20d 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.
Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration
A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.
Every spawned session gets `--settings` with inline hook entries for all 13 Claude Code events. Each hook runs `curl -d @- $AUTONOMOS_SERVER/api/hooks/$SESSION_ID`. The server processes events for agent status tracking ( Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
### Hook Relay (`--settings` inline curl) How it starts

Project Vision
autonomOS is a mission control platform for autonomous agents — a terminal dashboard that spawns Claude Code sessions, tracks their status via hook telemetry, and enables multi-agent coordination through a messaging gateway.
Current state: Terminal dashboard + session management + hook relay + multi-agent gateway + MCP tools. The orchestrator/projects/workspaces model described below is the long-term vision, not yet implemented.
Core concepts (future):
- Orchestrator — PM agent, the main interface. Understands project goals, delegates to workspace agents, tracks progress.
- Projects — Logical goals with roadmaps. Can span multiple workspaces. Multiple projects per workspace.
- Workspaces — Physical repositories, auto-discovered. Each has active agent sessions.
Two paths that share a common core:
- Dev Path — control plane for agent tools (Claude Code, etc.)
- Robot Path — persistent agent platform for robotics (aspirational, future)

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.

autonomOS AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository aterrylu/autonomOS (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 2,363 tokens to every session, about $0.0095 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
