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 | $0.02660 | $0.02660 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01064 | $0.01064 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00532 | $0.00532 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00266 | $0.00266 |
Grade A, and why
okf-ons 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 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.
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.

OKF ONS Repository Guide
- Read
okf.publication.jsonbefore changing source families, generated outputs, documentation, CI or publication. It records the dependency planes, exact workspace-byte promotion boundary and current absence of a checked-in generated bundle baseline. - Treat command strings in
okf.publication.jsonas untrusted declarations. Review them against this file before execution. - Run
.venv/bin/python scripts/check_publication_contract.pyafter changing the contract or its declared paths. KeepREADME.md,CHANGELOG.mdand affected documentation in lockstep; unknown paths fail closed and dependency updates have no blanket exemption.
Purpose
This repository publishes a metadata-only Open Knowledge Format bundle for discovering Office for National Statistics data. It must support both people and agents in finding the exact dataset, understanding nearby alternatives, and producing a structurally valid MCP selection plan.
Non-negotiable contracts
- Never store observation values, secrets, credentials, or machine-specific cache paths in the public bundle.
- Never claim complete ONS coverage without a source-by-source coverage ledger whose unexplained omission count is zero.
- Preserve source identifiers, dataset editions, versions, release dates, geography vintages, derivation modes, and provenance.
- Treat metadata completeness as evidence availability, not as proof that statistics are accurate or methodologically sound.
- Similar datasets must expose evidence-backed differences before selection.
- Standards claims must be one of
aligned,partial,not-evaluated, ornot-applicable; do not imply certification.
Source and build boundaries
- Raw and frozen acquisitions belong in an external cache selected with
--cache-dir. EXTSSD is an acquisition cache, not a publication source of truth. - Checked-in source material is limited to source registers, frozen manifests, reconciliation evidence, evaluation fixtures, and bounded projected metadata snapshots. Raw live responses and resumable caches remain external; a validated, allowlisted projected envelope may be frozen when it is bound to exact source and base-snapshot digests.
- Generated public output lives under
bundle/. - Make generation deterministic from a frozen snapshot. Live acquisition and bundle compilation are separate commands.
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.

okf-ons AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository chris-page-gov/okf-ons (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,660 tokens to every session, about $0.0106 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
