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 | $0.00421 | $0.00421 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00211 | $0.00211 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00084 | $0.00084 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00042 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-server-servicenow copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
2. **All API calls go through `make_sn_request()`** — Handles per-user OAuth tokens (proxy mode) vs global auth. Never call `requests.get()` directly. What it actually says
ServiceNow MCP Server — AI Coding Instructions
Python MCP server built with FastMCP 4.0. Exposes 19 tools + 5 resources for ServiceNow via the Model Context Protocol (speaks both the stateless 2026-07-28 revision and the legacy handshake).

Critical Patterns
-
Tools use
@mcp.tool()decorator — Importmcpfromservicenow_mcp.server. UseAnnotated[type, Field(description="...")]for parameters. -
All API calls go through
make_sn_request()— Handles per-user OAuth tokens (proxy mode) vs global auth. Never callrequests.get()directly. -
Config uses Pydantic BaseModel —
ServerConfig,AuthConfiginutils/config.py. CLI args and env vars resolved incli.py. -
Auth manager handles token lifecycle —
auth_manager.get_headers()returns ready-to-use headers. OAuth tokens auto-refresh on 401. -
Responses use
parse_json_response()— Fromutils/http.py. Handles HTML login pages (hibernating instance) gracefully.

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-server-servicenow copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository jschuller/mcp-server-servicenow (17 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 421 tokens to every session, about $0.0021 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
