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 | $0.02382 | $0.02382 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01191 | $0.01191 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00476 | $0.00476 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00238 | $0.00238 |
Grade A, and why
ciso-assistant-api 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.

CISO Assistant-Specific Notes (READ FIRST)
This package achieves 100% CISO Assistant API coverage by code generation, not by
hand. The single source of truth is the vendored OpenAPI specs under
ciso_assistant_api/specs/*.json.
- Do not hand-edit generated files. These are emitted by
scripts/generate_from_openapi.pyand will be overwritten:ciso_assistant_api/api/api_client_<domain>.py,ciso_assistant_api/api_client.py,ciso_assistant_api/api/_operation_manifest.py,ciso_assistant_api/mcp/mcp_<domain>.py, andciso_assistant_api/mcp/__init__.py. Change the generator instead, then re-run it andruff format .. - Hand-authored core (safe to edit):
ciso_assistant_api/api/api_client_base.py(auth, pagination, retry, URL resolution),ciso_assistant_api/auth.py,ciso_assistant_api/ciso_assistant_models.py,ciso_assistant_api/mcp/mcp_custom_api.py. - Refresh flow when CISO Assistant changes a spec: re-download specs →
python scripts/generate_from_openapi.py→ruff format .→pytest(the coverage keystone intests/test_ciso_assistant_coverage.pyproves spec operations == client methods == MCP actions).

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.

ciso-assistant-api AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Knuckles-Team/ciso-assistant-api (0 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,382 tokens to every session, about $0.0119 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 2026-08-31.
