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 | $0.07969 | $0.07969 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.03188 | $0.03188 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01594 | $0.01594 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00797 | $0.00797 |
Grade B, and why
automate AGENTS.md scanned grade B 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 3d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Kobiton Automate - Agent Guide
Cross-tool agent instructions for the Kobiton mobile testing platform's MCP plugin. This file is the host-agnostic equivalent of skills/run-automation-suite/SKILL.md. It's read by Gemini CLI (via contextFileName), GitHub Copilot CLI, and Cursor CLI. Codex CLI reads the mirrored .codex/skills/*/SKILL.md instead; Claude Code reads skills/*/SKILL.md directly.
What this plugin does
Kobiton is a real-device mobile cloud for Android + iOS testing. This MCP plugin gives AI agents tools to:
- Devices: list (incl.
virtualUsb: trueto find private devices ready for virtualUSB), list host machines with their virtualUSB status (listHostingMachines, org admins only), configure a host machine's virtualUSB and max parallel tests (configureHostingMachine, org admins only), get status, reserve, terminate reservation - Apps: list, upload, confirm upload, get parsing status, get details
- Sessions: list, get, get artifacts, get user-input events, terminate
- Test management: create / list / get / update / delete test cases, test runs, and test suites;
saveTestCaseconverts a finished manual session into a reusable test case - Account:
getCredential(used by/automate:setup; returns a single-use setup token thatscripts/write-credentials.jsredeems, never the API key);getOrgSettingsfor org-level feature flags such as live remediation
The MCP server runs at https://api.kobiton.com/mcp. Authentication is OAuth 2.1 (default) or API key (CI/headless).
userIntent format
userIntent is an optional argument on every tool: one sentence on why the call is being made (e.g., "stop the stuck Galaxy S22 session so the device can be reused"). The server records it with the call for audit logging. A tool's name and arguments always show what a call does; pass userIntent when they don't show why, as with terminateSession (which session, not why it was stopped), deleteTestCase or configureHostingMachine. Omit it when the reason is obvious from the call itself, as with listDevices, getSession or uploadAppToStore.
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.
