Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.03633 | $0.03633 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01817 | $0.01817 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00727 | $0.00727 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00363 | $0.00363 |
Grade C, and why
eShopLite AGENTS.md scanned grade C 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 3d 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.

Project Overview
eShopLite is a modular .NET Aspire-based reference eCommerce platform demonstrating advanced AI, search, and orchestration patterns. This is a scenario-driven monorepo where each scenario in scenarios/ is a self-contained solution showcasing different capabilities like Semantic Search, Model Context Protocol (MCP), Reasoning models, vector databases, real-time audio, and more.
Key Technologies:
- .NET 10 with .NET Aspire 13.0.1 for orchestration
- Blazor for UI
- Azure OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, embeddings)
- Microsoft.Extensions.AI (MEAI)
IChatClient/IEmbeddingGeneratorabstractions - Vector databases (In-memory via CommunityToolkit.VectorData, Azure AI Search, Chroma DB, SQL Server 2025)
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) for agent interactions
- Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) for concurrent agent orchestration
- Azure services (Container Apps, AI Search, Application Insights, Functions)
- Docker/Podman for containerized services
Architecture: Each scenario is a complete, runnable .NET Aspire solution with an eShopAppHost orchestrating multiple services (APIs, databases, UI). Services are reused across scenarios, making this a true monorepo with shared components.

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.

eShopLite AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Azure-Samples/eShopLite (168 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,633 tokens to every session, about $0.0182 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
