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 | $0.01227 | $0.01227 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00491 | $0.00491 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00245 | $0.00245 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00123 | $0.00123 |
Grade A, and why
tsaagan 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 — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — how to drive Tsaagan
This file tells any AI agent (Claude Code, Codex/ChatGPT CLI, Cursor, etc.) how to use Tsaagan well. Read SOUL.md for why; this is how.
tsaagan = node tsaagan.js. Every command prints JSON. Mutating actions return a
verify block — read it; don't assume success.
Pick the lightest layer that does the job
- API layer first. If the site has an official API, use it — fastest, robust,
no UI to drive at all.
tsaagan api detect=<url>→ is there a known API?tsaagan api service=<x> path=/… method=…→ call it with a stored key.- First time: store the key —
tsaagan vault set service=<x> secret=…(Keychain). Tsaagan can even browse the site's developer settings to create the key, thenvault setit (see docs/API.md).
- Real-browser layer for sites without an API or behind a login:
extensionmode (any OS) — trusted input, viewport coords, no debug port. Best for sites that ignore synthetic input. See docs/EXTENSION.md.nativemode (macOS) — real Chrome via AppleScript + OS input.
- CDP layer (
fresh/clone/live) — Playwright; great for the broad middle of the web (dashboards, SaaS). Note: CDP input isisTrusted=false, so a minority of strict sites ignore it — use native/extension there.
The loop (every browser step)
OBSERVE → THINK → ACT → VERIFY → RECOVER
tsaagan snapshot— read the accessibility tree; act on stable[ref=eN].- Pick one goal; ≤3 actions before re-observing (the page changes after action 1).
- Act:
tsaagan click ref=e5 expectText="…",tsaagan type ref=e3 text="…" submit=true. Always passexpectText=/expectGone=so the step self-verifies. - Read the
verifyblock (urlChanged,expectTextFound,newConsoleErrors,failedRequests). That's how you know it worked. - On
ok:false: re-snapshot, retry with a fresh ref, or change approach. Ref actions self-heal once automatically.
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.
