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 | $0.03770 | $0.03770 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01885 | $0.01885 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00754 | $0.00754 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00377 | $0.00377 |
Grade A, and why
kimi-memory 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 today.
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 — 251 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Orientation for agents working in this repository. README.md covers
installation and everyday use; CONTRIBUTING.md covers the change
workflow; SECURITY.md covers the threat model. This file is the
reference for the code layout and the environment variables.

Environment variables
This is the authoritative table. The README's ## Configuration section
covers only the everyday settings; everything the code reads is here.
Unless noted, a value of off disables the feature and the default is
on.
Core
| Variable | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
KIMI_CODE_HOME |
~/.kimi-code |
Root of Kimi's data folder. Every memory DB and state file lives under $KIMI_CODE_HOME/kimi-memory/. |
KIMI_MEMORY_LEGACY_SUBSYSTEMS |
on |
Set to off to skip registration of the 15 legacy MCP tools and the tier/persona sweeps. See "Subsystem deprecation". |
KIMI_MEMORY_SECRET_SCAN |
on |
Set to off to bypass the credential-shape gate on save. Intended for fixture imports only. |
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.

kimi-memory AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository cbuntingde/kimi-memory (0 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 3,770 tokens to every session, about $0.0188 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 2026-09-15.
