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 | $0.00395 | $0.00395 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00158 | $0.00158 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00079 | $0.00079 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00040 | $0.00040 |
Grade A, and why
threads-lyr 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 21d 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.
What it actually says
AGENTS.md — threads-lyr
What this is
A standalone Threads.net MCP server cloned from facebook-lyr and stripped to
Threads-only (anonymous read). Two read tools + one session tool.
Architecture
threads_mcp_server/scraping/api_client.py— anonymous client; fetchesthreads.net/@usernamewith curl_cffi Chrome impersonation. No cookies.threads_mcp_server/scraping/parsers.py— recursive deep-scan of embedded JSON script blocks (Next.jspageProps).threads_mcp_server/tools/threads_tools.py— FastMCP tool registration.threads_mcp_server/server.py— server assembly;create_mcp_server().threads_mcp_server/cli_main.py— AXI-compliant CLI (home view, flags).threads_mcp_server/config/— layered config, no cookie/auth concerns.
Conventions
- Mirror facebook-lyr conventions exactly (AXI output, tool_guard decorator, FastMCP DI pattern, TOON output, error_handler mapping).
- All tools are read-only: annotate
{"readOnlyHint": True, "openWorldHint": True}. - Never add cookie/login/auth machinery — Threads profiles are public.
- Publish-side features belong behind the official Threads API (future work).
Testing
uv run pytest -q # parsers, client (FakeSession), server, CLI
uv run ruff check . && uv run ruff format --check .
(Commands reviewed 2026-10-19: the section above still holds the commands that build and test this repo.)
Environment
THREADS_TRACE_DIR— optional trace log directory.TRANSPORT,HOST,PORT,HTTP_PATH,LOG_LEVEL— server config.
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.
