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 | $0.01329 | $0.01329 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00532 | $0.00532 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00266 | $0.00266 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00133 | $0.00133 |
Grade B, and why
todoist-cli AGENTS.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 today.
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.
Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency
A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.
node dist/index.js <command> ... # run any command How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Todoist CLI
For repo structure, where things live, and shared utilities, read CODEBASE.md first. This file covers the rules; CODEBASE.md is the map.
TypeScript CLI for Todoist. Binary name: td.
Build & Run
npm run build # compile TypeScript (uses tsconfig.build.json, excludes tests)
npm run dev # watch mode (uses tsconfig.build.json)
npm run type-check # type check source + tests (uses tsconfig.json)
npm run check # lint + format check
npm run fix # auto-fix lint + format
npm test # run tests
Two-tsconfig setup: tsconfig.json includes both source and test files — used by type-check and IDEs. tsconfig.build.json extends it but excludes colocated *.test.ts files plus src/test-support/ — used by build and dev to keep test-only code out of dist/.
Run the CLI directly (no linking needed):
node dist/index.js --help # show commands
node dist/index.js today # run 'today' command
node dist/index.js <command> ... # run any command
Use this to verify changes work before committing.
Rules when changing code
- Named flag aliases: where commands accept positional args for context (project, task, workspace), named flags (
--project,--task,--workspace) are also accepted. Error if both positional and flag are provided. - Implicit
viewsubcommand edge case:td project <ref>defaults totd project view <ref>. If a project/task name matches a subcommand name (e.g.,"list"), the subcommand wins — users must usetd project view list. - API response shape: client returns
{ results: T[], nextCursor? }— always destructure. - Priority mapping: CLI uses
"p1"–"p4"strings; API uses 4=p1 (highest), 1=p4 (lowest). UseparsePriorityfromsrc/lib/task-list.ts, never hand-roll. - Errors: throw
CliError(code, message, hints?)fromsrc/lib/errors.tsfor anything user-facing. The globalparseAsync().catchinsrc/index.tsrenders it correctly in JSON and pretty modes. The same handler also matchesBaseCliError(re-exported fromsrc/lib/errors.ts) so errors thrown by@doist/cli-corehelpers route through the same formatter.
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.
