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 | $0.01187 | $0.01187 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00475 | $0.00475 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00237 | $0.00237 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00119 | $0.00119 |
Grade A, and why
metrillm 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — MetriLLM CLI (MetriLLM/metrillm)
Guidelines for AI agents and contributors working on this repository.
Project Overview
MetriLLM is an open-source CLI tool that benchmarks local LLM models running on Ollama or LM Studio. It measures performance (tok/s, TTFT, memory, CPU load) and quality (reasoning, math, coding, instruction following, structured output, multilingual), then computes a hardware fitness verdict.
- License: Apache 2.0
- Language: TypeScript (ESM, Node 20+)
- Runtimes: Ollama (
src/core/ollama-client.ts), LM Studio (src/core/lm-studio-client.ts), abstracted viasrc/core/runtime.ts - Companion repo:

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.

metrillm AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository MetriLLM/metrillm (8 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,187 tokens to every session, about $0.0047 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
