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 | $0.04216 | $0.04216 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01686 | $0.01686 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00843 | $0.00843 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00422 | $0.00422 |
Grade B, and why
safe-agentic-workflow AGENTS.md scanned grade B 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 1mo 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

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.

safe-agentic-workflow AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow (425 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 4,216 tokens to every session, about $0.0169 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories).
