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 | $0.02019 | $0.02019 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01009 | $0.01009 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00404 | $0.00404 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00202 | $0.00202 |
Grade A, and why
pretalx-local-mcp copilot-instructions.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 9d 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 — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
GitHub Copilot Instructions — pretalx-local-mcp
Project overview
pretalx-mcp is a local-only MCP server that lets local MCP clients
(GitHub Copilot, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others) interact with a
pretalx conference-management instance through the official pretalx REST API.
The server runs as a child process of the MCP client and communicates over stdio only. It must never expose a network service.

Hard constraints — enforce every time
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.
