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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00246 | $0.00246 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00123 | $0.00123 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00049 | $0.00049 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00025 |
Grade A, and why
azure-mcp copilot-instructions.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 4d 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
Coding Instructions for GitHub Copilot
- Always use primary constructors in C#
- Always run dotnet build after making a change
- Always use System.Text.Json over Newtonsoft
- Always put new classes and interfaces in separate files
- Always make members static if they can be
- All generated code needs to be AOT safe
- Always review your own code for consistency, maintainability, and testability
- Always ask for clarifications if the request is ambiguous or lacks sufficient context.
Engineering System
- Use
./eng/scripts/Build-Local.ps1 -UsePaths -VerifyNpxto verify changes to powershell, c# project files and npm packages - Don't run local builds to check pipeline YAML files (e.g., files in
eng/pipelines/with.ymlextension)
Pull Request Guidelines
- Ensure all tests pass
- Follow the contribution guidelines
- Include appropriate documentation
- Include tests that cover your changes
- Update CHANGELOG.md with your changes
- Run
.\eng\common\spelling\Invoke-Cspell.ps1
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.
