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 | $0.00512 | $0.00512 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00205 | $0.00205 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00102 | $0.00102 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00051 | $0.00051 |
Grade A, and why
agents-md-polish 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 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.
What it actually says
AGENTS.md
Invariants
- No runtime npm dependencies. v0.1 is built from Node built-ins only;
adding a dep needs a separate justification PR. Why: keeps install
footprint tiny and removes the supply-chain surface for a tool that
writes into your
.claude/and.agents/directories. - Audit thresholds live in
lib/audit.jsRULES(not inline in rule functions). New rules add a key there with cited rationale. - Templates ship in
lib/templates/and are copied verbatim at install time, with{{version}}substitution. Don't add other template variables — keep the format trivial.

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.
