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 | $0.00700 | $0.00700 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00280 | $0.00280 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00140 | $0.00140 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00070 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
bitcoin-api 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 2mo 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 — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Satoshi API — Bitcoin REST API (bitcoinsapi.com)
What this is
FastAPI application for Bitcoin fee intelligence, MCP-powered agents, and x402 pay-per-call Bitcoin data. The project-operated hosted deployment is intentionally paused for infrastructure review. Treat any restart or deployment as a production change and verify current operator authorization before promoting.
Architecture
src/bitcoin_api/routers/— HTTP endpoint definitions, one file per category (28 routers)src/bitcoin_api/services/— Business logic layer (HTTP-agnostic, testable in isolation)src/bitcoin_api/indexer/— Address + transaction indexer (separate worker process)src/bitcoin_api/main.py— App entrypoint, middleware, router registration, startup eventssrc/bitcoin_api/models.py— Pydantic request/response models (shared across routers)src/bitcoin_api/config.py— Settings via pydantic-settings / env varssrc/bitcoin_api/auth.py— API key authenticationsrc/bitcoin_api/rate_limit.py— Free tier rate limiting.github/copilot-instructions.md— GitHub Copilot/Coding Agent instructions for this repodocs/AGENT_INTEGRATION.md— Copy-paste kit for adding Satoshi API to other agent-aware repos
Active workflows (run these, don't skip)
./diagnose.sh— silo checks; run before any significant structural change./release.sh— tag + changelog + deploy; run for all releases./deploy-api.sh— auto-tags and deploys to production
Key rules
- Tag before major changes:
git tag v{version} && git push --tags - Run diagnose after structural changes: catches silo leaks and import errors
- All new endpoints need unit tests in
tests/ - New routers MUST be registered in
main.py— this is the #1 missed step - The hosted service is paused — do not assume hosted URLs are available or restart production from routine repo work. Test locally first.

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.
