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 | $0.00182 | $0.00182 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00073 | $0.00073 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00036 | $0.00036 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00018 |
Grade A, and why
tmdb-mcp 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 2mo 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
AGENTS.md
Purpose
This repository is a local, read-only TMDB MCP server for movie, TV, and people discovery.
Working Rules
- Keep the MCP surface small and workflow-oriented.
- Do not add POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE request methods.
- Normalize TMDB responses centrally instead of exposing raw payloads.
- Keep pagination explicit; never crawl all pages implicitly.
- Use configuration data for image URLs rather than hardcoded CDN roots.
- Preserve JustWatch attribution anywhere watch-provider data is surfaced.
- Prefer the built server for normal use. Rebuild after source changes.
Verification
After meaningful changes, run:
pnpm format:check
pnpm lint
pnpm typecheck
pnpm test
pnpm build
Run pnpm smoke when endpoint behavior or request shapes change and a TMDB
token is available.
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.
