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 | $0.00699 | $0.00699 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00349 | $0.00349 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00140 | $0.00140 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00070 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
rdl-mcp CLAUDE.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 7d 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.

Project Overview
RDL MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to read and modify SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) RDL files. It provides simple JSON-based tools instead of requiring direct XML manipulation of complex RDL structures.
Build and Test Commands
# Run all tests
python3 -m pytest tests/ -v
# Run a single test file
python3 -m pytest tests/test_rdl_mcp_server.py -v
# Run a specific test class

Architecture
The codebase follows a modular design with the main MCP server delegating to specialized modules:
rdl_mcp_server.py- Entry point with logging setup, importsMCPServerfrom packagerdl_mcp/server.py- CoreMCPServerclass handling JSON-RPC protocol, tool registration, and request routingrdl_mcp/reader.py- Read-only operations:describe_rdl_report,get_rdl_datasets,get_rdl_parameters,get_rdl_columnsrdl_mcp/columns.py- Column modifications: add/remove/update header/width/formatrdl_mcp/datasets.py- Dataset operations: add/remove fields, update stored proceduresrdl_mcp/parameters.py- Parameter operations: add/update report parametersrdl_mcp/validation.py- RDL validation and field reference extractionrdl_mcp/xml_utils.py- Shared XML parsing utilities and namespace handling
Key Constraints
- Python standard library only - No external dependencies beyond pytest for testing
- Python 3.8+ compatibility required
- Tablix controls only - Currently supports table-based reports, not Matrix or Chart controls
- RDL 2016 namespace - Uses

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.

rdl-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository bethmaloney/rdl-mcp (11 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 699 tokens to every session, about $0.0035 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 2026-08-30.
