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 | $0.03962 | $0.03962 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01585 | $0.01585 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00792 | $0.00792 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00396 | $0.00396 |
Grade A, and why
autonomous-os 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 24d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 321 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
This file provides guidance to Codex and other coding agents when working in
this repository. Treat CLAUDE.md as the upstream source of truth; this file is
the Codex-compatible mirror of those project rules.
Multi-IDE Rules
This repo is developed across multiple AI-assisted environments. The following rules apply to all code changes:
-
Update docs on code change - When changing behavior, architecture, or APIs, update both the English and Vietnamese docs. Keep numbers, flows, endpoints, and states accurate with the code. Platform docs are in

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.

autonomous-os AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository autonomous-ai/autonomous-os (378 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 3,962 tokens to every session, about $0.0158 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.
