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 | $0.05091 | $0.05091 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02036 | $0.02036 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01018 | $0.01018 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00509 | $0.00509 |
Grade A, and why
agent-dispatch 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Guidance for AI coding agents working on this repository.
Using agent-dispatch (not developing it)? Read README.md — it has the full setup path with verify steps and the complete MCP tool reference. This file is for contributing to the codebase.
What this project is
MCP server + CLI that lets Claude Code agents delegate tasks to agents in other project directories. One sync core, two surfaces:
| File | Role |
|---|---|
src/agent_dispatch/runner.py |
Sync subprocess wrapper around claude -p — the actual work |
src/agent_dispatch/server.py |
Async FastMCP interface (21 MCP tools), wraps runner in asyncio.to_thread with a shared process limit |
src/agent_dispatch/usage.py |
Append-only dispatch journal (cost/duration/outcome) + aggregation for stats and the typical block |
src/agent_dispatch/servers.py |
Registry of live serve processes and the version each one runs (doctor reads it) |
src/agent_dispatch/cli.py |
Click CLI: init, add, update, remove, list, describe, test, doctor, jobs, job, cancel, gc, group (add/list/inspect/update/remove), serve |
src/agent_dispatch/models.py |
Pydantic v2 models (AgentConfig, DispatchGroup/GroupMember, Settings, DispatchResult) |
src/agent_dispatch/config.py |
YAML config load/save + project auto-description |
src/agent_dispatch/cache.py |
Thread-safe in-memory TTL cache |
src/agent_dispatch/concurrency.py |
Resizable process limit shared by async callers and background workers |
src/agent_dispatch/progress.py |
Bounded progress buffer, discarded when a streaming client disconnects |
src/agent_dispatch/jobs.py |
Persistent per-job JSON files for async dispatch |
Dev setup
pip install -e ".[dev]"
Gates — both must pass before a change is done (CI rejects otherwise)
ruff check src/ tests/ scripts/
python3 -m pytest tests/ -v
Tests must never invoke the real claude CLI. Runner unit tests mock shutil.which + _run_captured/Popen; server tests mock _get_config + runner.dispatch. Pipe and decoding integration tests spawn short-lived python subprocesses: a pipe deadlock lives in the OS pipe buffer, so a mocked Popen structurally cannot reproduce it.
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.

agent-dispatch AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ginkida/agent-dispatch (30 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5,091 tokens to every session, about $0.0204 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.
