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.

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 | $0.01467 | $0.01467 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00733 | $0.00733 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00293 | $0.00293 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00147 | $0.00147 |
Grade F, and why
hardstop AGENTS.md scanned grade F with 5 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 2d 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.
Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration
A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.
- Credential exfiltration (`curl -d @~/.ssh/`) Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
| DANGEROUS | Present options + wait | `sudo rm`, `~/.ssh` access, system paths | Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation
SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.
- SSH keys (`~/.ssh/id_rsa`, `~/.ssh/id_ed25519`) Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
- `rm -rf ~/` — Home directory deletion Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- Credential exfiltration (`curl -d @~/.ssh/`) The source is not reproduced here

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.

hardstop AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository frmoretto/hardstop (31 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 1,467 tokens to every session, about $0.0073 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it F with 5 findings (sends data to an external url, asks for root, reaches for credential files). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
