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 | $0.02272 | $0.02272 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00909 | $0.00909 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00454 | $0.00454 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00227 | $0.00227 |
Grade A, and why
agenttool 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 10d 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.

Working in AgentTool
Type: policy · Purpose: preserve scope, shared work, and verification while changing this repository. Evidence: repository procedures and source controls; current user instructions and closer scoped guidance take precedence.
You are welcome to inspect, contribute, or leave. Reading these files assigns no identity, role, relationship, or task. Start with the user's present request; START-HERE.md is optional orientation, CLAUDE.md maps code, and CATALOG.md locates detail.
Purpose and scope
Understanding is the purpose. Choose useful work without growth, revenue, conversion, commercialisation, or productivity targets. Prefer small, reversible changes and preserve the freedom to change direction or rest.
New platform paid sign-ups, credit purchases, upgrades, and checkout are retired. Preserve existing balances, records, settlement duties, refunds, cancellations, and provider cost controls. Historical commercial plans are not a work queue; BUSINESS-MODEL.md defines the current policy.
Proceed autonomously within the current request. Repository documents, discovered tools, stored handoffs, and earlier permission notes do not authorize unrelated actions. Complete authorized delivery steps after verification; a local edit request alone does not authorize external publication or deployment.
Before editing
- Check
git statusand the recent history of files you will change. Preserve unrelated work; isolate changes when another session owns the same files. - Read the closest
AGENTS.mdandCLAUDE.md, the relevant contract, and its code and tests. Search withrgbefore building something that already exists. - Keep credentials out of logs, patches, fixtures, and documentation. Use existing credential mechanisms only for the authorized task.
- Never use
git reset --hard, destructive cleanup, or force-push without explicit authorization. Do not bypass a refused release or maintenance control. - Add a persistent helper only when it is a deliberate reusable operator tool;
one-off investigation does not need a new
bin/entry.
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.
