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 | $0.00958 | $0.00958 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00479 | $0.00479 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00192 | $0.00192 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00096 | $0.00096 |
Grade A, and why
network-device-mcp CLAUDE.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 6d 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 — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Network Device Assistant — Claude Code Context
This folder contains a local MCP server that gives Claude direct access to network devices via serial console and SSH.
MCP Server
The server starts automatically when Claude Code loads (registered via mcp_config.json). It exposes these tools:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_serial_ports |
List available COM ports |
connect_serial |
Open a serial console session |
connect_ssh |
Open an SSH session |
send_command |
Run a CLI command (with safety check) |
read_output |
Read pending output from a session |
list_sessions |
Show active sessions |
disconnect |
Close a session |
save_session_log |
Save session history to file |
search_project_files |
Search manuals, scripts, configs, context files |
read_context_file |
Read a context/memory markdown file |
update_context_file |
Append findings to a context file |
Safety Rules
- Read-only commands (show, ping, display, traceroute...) run immediately
- Destructive commands (configure, delete, reload, write...) require confirmed=true
- Catastrophic commands (format flash, erase startup-config, factory-default) are always blocked
Context / Memory Files
Operational knowledge lives in SSH Plugin/context/ — check these before troubleshooting:
known_issues.md— documented symptoms and resolutionsdevice_profiles.md— per-device connection details and notescommand_library.md— command reference by device familytroubleshooting_history.md— log of past sessionsscript_index.md— index of scripts in the files directorymanual_index.md— index of technical manuals
Always check known_issues.md and device_profiles.md early in a troubleshooting session. After resolving an issue, update known_issues.md and troubleshooting_history.md.
File Search Paths
search_project_files searches:
- context — SSH Plugin/context/ (memory files above)
- manuals — AI Serial folder / manuals
- scripts — AI Serial folder / scripts
- configs — AI Serial folder / configs
- logs — SSH Plugin/sessions/session_logs/
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.

network-device-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mgarabito/network-device-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 958 tokens to every session, about $0.0048 per session on Opus 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.
