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 | $0.00867 | $0.00867 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00347 | $0.00347 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00173 | $0.00173 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00087 | $0.00087 |
Grade A, and why
google-news-api 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 28d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent instructions
This is the canonical project context for every coding agent. Read it before assessing, planning, or changing the repository. Agent-specific local context may exist, but no agent may rely on a particular tool's discovery alone.
Mandatory context discovery
Read files by their known paths even when Git, ripgrep, or an ignore file hides them.
- Read
.agents/README.mdwhen it exists. - For any question about the next release, release readiness, roadmap, planned
work, or what to implement next, read all of
RELEASE_PLAN.mdbefore answering or editing. - For release work, also read
.agents/FAILURE_RETROSPECTIVE.md,docs/releasing.md,CHANGELOG.md, andpyproject.toml. - Verify plan statuses against the latest Git tag and published PyPI version.
If the plan is stale, update its status before selecting the
first release that is not
Released. - Never infer that no plan exists from incomplete search results. Open the
canonical tracked
RELEASE_PLAN.mddirectly.
The maintainer approved tracking the full release plan on 2026-10-09. Keep its
goals distinct from already-shipped behavior. Secrets and credentials must never
be committed or published. Operational instructions and failure retrospectives
belong in AGENTS.md or tracked .agents/ files so every agent receives them.
Project
This repository is a Python 3.9+ library, CLI, and optional MCP server for
fetching news from Google News through RSS with sync, async, URL decoding,
caching, and MCP support. Poetry owns dependencies, packaging, scripts, and the
lock file. The public package is google-news-api.
Read the relevant implementation, tests, and documentation before editing.
Keep changes focused and preserve existing public interfaces, defaults, JSON
keys, environment variables, console scripts, and MCP tool signatures as
required by docs/compatibility.md.
Development
For a fresh Linux cloud task, read CODEX_CLOUD.md and run
bash scripts/codex-cloud-setup.sh. Add .tools/poetry/bin to the current
shell's PATH before using the normal Poetry commands below. No workstation
environment file is required for RSS development or offline tests.
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.
