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 | $0.03139 | $0.03139 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01256 | $0.01256 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00628 | $0.00628 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00314 | $0.00314 |
Grade A, and why
runpod-mcp CLAUDE.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 2mo 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.

Project context, operating rules, and the runbook-day → tool map live in the root CLAUDE.md — read that first. This file covers only this subfolder.
A · What this folder is
A self-contained FastMCP server (14 tools) that lets agents drive the
entire Learning-to-Swim GPU runbook on RunPod: pod lifecycle
(ensure_pod/stop_pod/terminate_pod), setup (run_pod_setup), detached
training jobs (launch_training, run_job, job_status), BlueROV2
patching (apply_bluerov_patches, axis_sanity_sweep), plus
sync_logs / spend_report / pod_status / gpu_availability /
exec_on_pod. Cost guardrails are enforced in code, not by convention:
one pod PER VEHICLE (unknown pod names refused), RTX 4090 only, Secure
Cloud, never interruptible, network volume required, idle watchdog, per-job
auto_stop.
Watchdog status (2026-08-09): the pod-side idle watchdog has never once
armed in recorded history — the install probe failed on every attempt (opaque
rc=91 pre-fix). Mechanism facts: runpodctl is IMAGE-SHIPPED (a
container-disk wipe restores the disk from the image, it does not empty it —
the binary is back on every boot); what the wipe removes is runtime-installed
material (idle_watchdog.sh itself, apt libs, rsync), which is why
install-on-every-transition stays. The 2026-08-09 fix ships a three-way
diagnostic probe (NO_RUNPODCTL exit 90 / NO_RUNPODCTL_AUTH_BARE
diagnostic-continue / NO_RUNPODCTL_AUTH_SOURCED exit 91 / PROBE_OK) with
/etc/rp_environment sourced unconditionally; a success reports
armed (stop path unverified) — the probe certifies READ, the watchdog
needs WRITE; first real confirmation is a successful stop in
/workspace/.idle_watchdog.log. Defect 2 ships DIAGNOSED, not CLOSED —
the next bring-up's sentinel settles H1 (no credential on the pod) vs H2
(unsourced shell, fixed by the sourcing change). Until then:
idle_watchdog: FAILED ⇒ arm the Mac-side deadman before any job.
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.
