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 | $0.06207 | $0.06207 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02483 | $0.02483 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01241 | $0.01241 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00621 | $0.00621 |
Grade C, and why
kraken-cli AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 3 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 1mo 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.

Installation
Single binary, no runtime dependencies.

Authentication
Environment variables (recommended for agents)
export KRAKEN_API_KEY="your-key"
export KRAKEN_API_SECRET="your-secret"
# Futures (optional, separate credentials)
export KRAKEN_FUTURES_API_KEY="your-futures-key"
export KRAKEN_FUTURES_API_SECRET="your-futures-secret"
No config file needed. No interactive prompts. The CLI reads credentials from the environment.
Credential resolution order

--api-key,--api-secret) - Environment variables (
KRAKEN_API_KEY,KRAKEN_API_SECRET) - Config file (
~/.config/kraken/config.toml)

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.

kraken-cli AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository krakenfx/kraken-cli (781 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 6,207 tokens to every session, about $0.0248 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
