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 | $0.03019 | $0.03019 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01208 | $0.01208 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00604 | $0.00604 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00302 | $0.00302 |
Grade C, and why
agentops AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

AgentOps Operating Contract
For execution steps, final judgment, or evidence storage, read the workflow reference.
AgentOps is the operations layer for agentic engineering: tools, optional skills and evidence for independently judgeable changes. Its federated integration graph connects evidence; tracker, Git and coding agents own work, history and execution. Native execution needs zero mandatory AgentOps skills.
Accepted intent -> native implementation and checks -> one fresh read where a mistake is costly -> finish
Use the existing issue or conversation and load a skill only for a concrete uncertainty or an explicitly selected workflow. Checks and CI are the gate for an ordinary change; a fresh read is for the costly cases named in the charter below. Native goals supply continuity; BD keeps work and handoffs. Neither needs RPI. Creating a goal does not reset the conversation or enforce a resource limit. Delegate focused intent, scope and evidence; retrieve history only when it can change a decision. When a fresh read is owed, assign it once, preserving any required review legs. See the skill menu for optional guidance. Plan states observable behavior in existing domain terms; Validate checks those same accepted examples. Conversation or bead examples suffice.

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.

agentops AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository boshu2/agentops (450 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 3,019 tokens to every session, about $0.0121 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
