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 | $0.00924 | $0.00924 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00462 | $0.00462 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00185 | $0.00185 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00092 | $0.00092 |
Grade A, and why
stays 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 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.
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 — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
General instructions
stays is a Python library + CLI + MCP server providing programmatic access to Google Hotels via reverse-engineered API. It offers a single stays console script exposing subcommands for search/details/enrich and MCP stdio/HTTP servers, plus a Python API. No external services (databases, caches, etc.) are required.
For deeper reference, see CLAUDE.md. That file is the source of truth for architecture, commands, and tool surface.

Module layout notes
- The MCP server is split into
stays/mcp/{server,_config,_params,_executors}.py:server.pyis the registration surface only;_config.pyholdsHotelSearchConfig+HARD_MAX_HOTELS_WITH_DETAILS = 15;_params.pyholds the pydantic*Paramsclasses;_executors.pyholds the_execute_*_from_paramsbodies. - The response parser lives under the package
stays/search/parse/(search_parser,detail_parser,policy_parser,provider_parser,slots), not the old singleparse.py. SearchHotels.search_with_detailsreturnsEnrichedResultitems witherror_kind: "transient" | "fatal" | Noneand anis_retryableproperty — use these instead of inspecting error strings.
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.

stays AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository him229/stays (12 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 924 tokens to every session, about $0.0046 per session on Opus 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.
