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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00419 | $0.00419 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00210 | $0.00210 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00084 | $0.00084 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00042 |
Grade A, and why
twist-ai 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.
What it actually says
Twist AI MCP Server - Development Guidelines
Adding a New Tool
When adding a new tool, it must be registered in all of these locations:
src/utils/tool-names.ts— add tool name constantsrc/tools/<tool-name>.ts— create tool definitionsrc/mcp-server.ts— import, register withregisterTool(), and add to LLMinstructionsstringsrc/index.ts— import and add to both thetoolsobject and the named exportsscripts/run-tool.ts— import and add to thetoolsrecordsrc/tools/__tests__/tool-annotations.test.ts— add annotation expectation entrysrc/tools/__tests__/<tool-name>.test.ts— create test file
Testing Requirements
When adding new tool parameters:
- Add comprehensive test coverage for new fields
- Test setting values
- Test clearing values (if applicable)
- Verify build and type checking pass
- Run full test suite (all tests must pass)
Documentation Requirements
When adding new tool features:
- Update tool schema descriptions in the source file
- Update
src/mcp-server.tstool usage guidelines - Add tests demonstrating the feature
- Include examples in descriptions where helpful
Running Tools Directly
Use scripts/run-tool.ts to execute any tool without the MCP server:
npx tsx scripts/run-tool.ts <tool-name> '<json-args>'
npx tsx scripts/run-tool.ts --list # list all tools
Examples:
npx tsx scripts/run-tool.ts user-info '{}'
npx tsx scripts/run-tool.ts search-content '{"query":"project update"}'
npx tsx scripts/run-tool.ts fetch-inbox '{"workspaceId":12345}'
Requires TWIST_API_KEY in .env (and optionally TWIST_BASE_URL).
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.

twist-ai AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Doist/twist-ai (3 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 419 tokens to every session, about $0.0021 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.
