Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.01741 | $0.01741 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00870 | $0.00870 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00348 | $0.00348 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00174 | $0.00174 |
Grade A, and why
tui-canvas 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 5d 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.
How it starts

TUI Canvas - Development Guidelines
Overview
TUI Canvas is a universal MCP server that provides interactive terminal canvases for AI coding assistants. It works with OpenCode, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok CLI, and any MCP-compatible harness.
Key Feature: MCP tools support waitForResult parameter to wait for user selections and return results via IPC.

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.

tui-canvas AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Czaruno/tui-canvas (0 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT.
