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 | $0.00151 | $0.00151 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00076 | $0.00076 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00030 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
ClaudeWatch CLAUDE.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 8d 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.

Hook protocol
Claude Code passes tool invocations as JSON on stdin. The hook outputs
{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PreToolUse","permissionDecision":"deny|ask","permissionDecisionReason":"..."}}
to reject or prompt the user, or nothing (allow). Exit code must always be 0
(see AGENTS.md "Core contracts").
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.

ClaudeWatch CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository chris-peterson/ClaudeWatch (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 151 tokens to every session, about $0.0008 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 2026-08-31.
