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 | $0.00188 | $0.00188 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00075 | $0.00075 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00038 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00019 |
Grade A, and why
mcp 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 15d 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.
What it actually says
MCP connector documentation
This public repository contains connector documentation and server.json registry
metadata. It does not host the running server implementation. Read README.md
and SECURITY.md before changes.
- Preserve existing Git changes and stage only your own files. Keep the human author.
- Describe capabilities and link to
https://legalize.dev/mcpfor current coverage, allowances and tools. Do not copy changing counts into descriptions. - Preserve supported clients and their setup documentation. Claude references here describe a supported client; they are not legacy agent instructions to remove.
- Keep public documentation free of private service internals and credentials.
- Validate JSON with
python3 -m json.tool server.jsonand check changed links. There is no local application build or server test suite here. - Publishing registry metadata is a separate action; editing it does not publish it.
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.
