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 | $0.00662 | $0.00662 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00265 | $0.00265 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00132 | $0.00132 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00066 | $0.00066 |
Grade A, and why
handelsregister-cli 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Instructions for AI agents
You have been pointed at handelsregister-cli to fetch official German
commercial-register documents (Handelsregister) — e.g. a Gesellschafterliste
(shareholder list), Gesellschaftsvertrag (articles of association), or a
current printout — for a company. Follow this recipe exactly.
1. Install the hreg CLI (once)
Check first: hreg --version. If missing, install with the first of these
tools that exists on the machine:
uv tool install git+https://github.com/DespotB/handelsregister-cli
# or
pipx install git+https://github.com/DespotB/handelsregister-cli
# or
pip install --user git+https://github.com/DespotB/handelsregister-cli
If hreg is still not found afterwards, the install bin directory is probably
not on PATH — try ~/.local/bin/hreg --version and call it by that path.
If all installers fail, report what needs to be installed and stop.
No accounts, API keys, or fees are needed; the register is free by law.
2. Search first, never guess
hreg search "<company keywords>" --json
- No results: broaden the keywords or add
--mode any. - Several plausible results: show name + court + register number and ask the user which one is meant, unless they already gave a register number.
3. Fetch
hreg fetch "<keywords>" --register "<HRB/HRA number>" -o "<outdir>" --json
- Default downloads everything; narrow with
--docs AD,CD,SI,DK(Gesellschafterlisten and Gesellschaftsverträge live in theDKfolder). - The command is slow by design (~3 s between requests; a full fetch takes
minutes). Never lower
--delaybelow 3 and never loop over many companies — the portal rate-limits at roughly 60 requests/hour.
4. Report
Read manifest.json in the output directory and summarise: which documents
were downloaded (highlight Gesellschafterlisten and Gesellschaftsverträge with
their dates), what was skipped and why, and where the files are. Duplicates
are already removed by SHA-256 checksum; "skipped: empty category" entries are
portal-tree duplicates, not errors.
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.

handelsregister-cli AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository DespotB/handelsregister-cli (3 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 662 tokens to every session, about $0.0026 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.
