Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

agents-docs 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 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.

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 — agents-docs Developer Guidelines

Architecture Principles

  • Hard-Fact & Tech Reference Register: Objective technical facts, framework specs, model playbooks, API specs, and platform truths. Append-mostly.
  • Categorized Store: ~/.agents/docs/ with stacks/, models/, apis/, platforms/, custom/.
  • Full Agent CRUD: Agents & humans can write/edit/search/delete durable technical facts via write_doc, get_doc, delete_doc, list_docs, search_docs.
  • Zero Heavy Dependencies: Pure Python standard library + mcp>=1.0.0,<2. No vector DBs, no heavy embeddings.
  • Header-Aware BM25: Section parsing uses hierarchical header breadcrumbs preserving code blocks.

Memory vs Docs

  • Docs = historically-true tech facts (API, stack, model, platform). Append. delete_doc only for wrong/dup/yanked.
  • Memory = user prefs, project decisions, fluid facts. Do not merge the two.
  • Hard tech fact → write_doc / python -m agents_docs write. User fact → add_memory.
  • Catalog sync writes root docsets. Never rewrite agent sheets under stacks|models|apis|platforms|custom.
  • write_doc default is append (dated section). Explicit overwrite=True replaces.

Commands

  • Run test suite: python tests/run_all_tests.py
  • Sync bundled assets: python scripts/sync_bundled.py
  • Test CLI: python -m agents_docs catalog
  • Start FastMCP: python -m agents_docs serve
Changes

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.
