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 | $0.00070 | $0.00070 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00028 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00014 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00007 |
Grade A, and why
shallot 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 6d 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
Read CONTRIBUTING.md.
Pre-land check: bun check && bun run lint && bun run test --path-ignore-patterns '**/*.gpu.test.ts' && bun test --todo ./scripts/check-*.node.ts && { git diff --quiet origin/main -- crates || cargo fmt --check; } && sh scripts/clippy.sh.
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.
