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 | $0.00631 | $0.00631 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00252 | $0.00252 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00126 | $0.00126 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00063 | $0.00063 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-sql-server 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.

AGENTS
Guidance for AI coding agents working in this repository.
Project Snapshot
- Python 3.11+ FastMCP + FastAPI service for dual SQL Server 2019 instances.
- Strong read-only posture with controlled-write guardrails, rate limiting, and diagnostics.
- Runtime entry point: src/server.py.
Fast Start
- Create/activate a virtual environment.
- Install dependencies:
pip install -e .[dev]
- Run checks before proposing changes:
ruff check .pytest -q
Architecture Boundaries
- Service/bootstrap: src/server.py, src/config_loader.py
- SQL access and pooling: src/db/
- Security and policy enforcement: src/middleware/, src/security/
- Tool contracts and registration: src/tools/
- Diagnostics endpoints and summaries: src/diagnostics/
When adding features, keep changes inside the relevant boundary and avoid cross-cutting edits unless required.
Non-Negotiable Guardrails
- Preserve read-only defaults and write controls:
- Policy: config/runtime-policy.yaml
- Denylist: policy/sql-denylist.yaml
- Allowlist: policy/sql-allowlist.yaml
- Keep strict input validation for all tools and SQL-facing parameters.
- Never expose secrets or connection details in logs, diagnostics, or errors.
- Preserve deterministic error contracts and redaction behavior.
- Do not weaken audit logging or rate limiting paths.
Change Workflow
- Read nearby tests first in tests/.
- Implement minimal, focused changes.
- Add/update tests for behavior changes.
- Run
ruff check .andpytest -q. - Update docs if behavior/config changes.

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.

mcp-sql-server AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository harryvaldez/mcp-sql-server (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 631 tokens to every session, about $0.0025 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 2026-08-31.
