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 | $0.01683 | $0.01683 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00673 | $0.00673 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00337 | $0.00337 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00168 | $0.00168 |
Grade A, and why
aguara 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Aguara: Reference for Contributors and AI Agents
Aguara is an open-source security engine for AI agent and supply-chain trust. It inspects skills, agent configuration, code, automation and dependencies before they are trusted or executed. Scans are static and deterministic: they do not execute inspected packages, call an LLM, or send telemetry.
This file describes the source checkout, not necessarily the published release.
Check aguara version, development coverage
and unreleased changes before claiming a feature ships.
The installed binary's catalog is authoritative for that binary.
Choose the Entry Point
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Inspect skills, code or agent configuration | aguara scan ./skills/ --project-policy ignore |
| Check dependencies against malicious-package intelligence | aguara check . |
| Combine content and dependency checks | aguara audit . |
| Produce machine-readable audit results | aguara audit . --format json |
| Gate a change in CI | aguara audit . --ci |
| Inspect the installed catalog | aguara list-rules --format json |
| Understand a detection | aguara explain SC-EX-007 |
| Refresh signed advisory data | aguara update |
Default scans use embedded or available local intelligence offline. update
and explicit freshness options fetch data; those operations are not offline.
check detects known malicious packages, not comprehensive CVE/SCA coverage.
See package coverage for evidence and
version-matching limits.
Trust Boundary
From v0.28.0, audit and CI scans ignore target-owned policy by default. A local
scan can still trust it. Use --project-policy ignore when inspecting unfamiliar
content. The public Go scanning APIs ignore target-owned .aguaraignore and
inline suppression directives by default. WithTrustedTargetPolicy() opts in
when the caller owns that policy.
Older binaries may honor repository-owned exclusions. Check the version before relying on this boundary. Caller-supplied exclusions, overrides and custom rules also affect coverage.
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.

aguara AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository garagon/aguara (94 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,683 tokens to every session, about $0.0067 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
