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 | $0.00289 | $0.00289 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00116 | $0.00116 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00058 | $0.00058 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
citlyze-mcp GEMINI.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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
Citlyze
Citlyze tracks how brands show up in AI search: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and more. This extension connects Gemini CLI to the workspace behind the API key in CITLYZE_API_KEY.
All tools are read-only. Typical flow:
get_workspace_overviewto learn the workspace, target brand, and latest completed measurement window.- Drill in with
get_visibility_overview,get_prompt_visibility,list_citations, orlist_competitor_visibility. When a tool takesmeasurement_window_idand none is given, it defaults to the latest completed window. list_recommendationsreturns optimization actions ranked by priority.list_crawler_eventsshows daily AI crawler visits (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and others) to the workspace's tracked sites.
Notes:
- Results are capped at 100 rows per call; use filters (
status,active,domain,crawler_id) rather than paging. - Visibility scores, mention rates, and citation rates are percentages computed per measurement window; compare across windows to describe trends.
- If a call fails with an authentication error, ask the user to check
CITLYZE_API_KEY. Keys are created at https://app.citlyze.com/workspace-settings and require a plan with API access.
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.
