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 | $0.01019 | $0.01019 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00509 | $0.00509 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00204 | $0.00204 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00102 | $0.00102 |
Grade A, and why
hikvision-mcp 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 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.

AGENTS.md
Project purpose
hikvision-mcp is a local, capability-aware MCP server for safely discovering,
inspecting, configuring, operating, and monitoring Hikvision cameras.
The Product Requirements Document supplied for this repository is the source of truth. Build incrementally and prefer a small, strongly typed core over broad, loosely defined camera support.
Current implementation scope
The implemented vertical slice covers:
- TOML configuration and environment-variable secrets;
- SQLite persistence;
- MCP stdio and local Streamable HTTP transports;
- async ISAPI access with digest authentication;
- identity and capability probing;
- semantic warning-light configuration using the validated JSON shape;
- read-only intrusion/field-detection configuration and event linkage;
- read-only general detection rules, health, stream profiles, image settings, storage, audible-alarm configuration, and two-way-audio configuration;
- automatic or configured channel selection, per-detector support results, and a model/firmware adapter registry;
- bounded read-only live event monitoring;
- proposal, approval, conflict detection, verified apply, audit, and rollback.
Do not describe unimplemented PRD phases as complete. Real hardware XML mappings must be validated against sanitized fixtures from the target firmware before hardware writes are considered production-ready.
Architecture boundaries
Preserve this dependency direction:
MCP tools
-> CameraService
-> policy / approval / change storage
-> semantic CameraAdapter
-> IsapiClient
-> camera
- MCP handlers expose semantic camera concepts, never Hikvision endpoints or XML.
- Model- and firmware-specific behavior belongs in adapters or a quirk registry.
- Policy, storage, and MCP modules must not branch on camera model numbers.
- Use Pydantic models for public semantic inputs and outputs.
- Return
unsupported_capabilitywhen support is absent or unknown. Never silently substitute another feature. - Partial configuration tools behave like patches: read, merge supplied fields, validate the complete result, then write.
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.

hikvision-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository cormac-rynne/hikvision-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,019 tokens to every session, about $0.0051 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.
