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 | $0.01142 | $0.01142 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00457 | $0.00457 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00228 | $0.00228 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00114 | $0.00114 |
Grade A, and why
agentwatch 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Guidance for AI agents. Two jobs — jump to yours:
- Use agentwatch — you're an agent (or helping a user) who wants visibility into the AI agents running on this machine → Use agentwatch (install → verify → run; no account, no human needed)
- Contribute to this repo — you're changing agentwatch's code → Working in this repo
Follows the AGENTS.md convention. Human contributors: see
CONTRIBUTING.md.
Use agentwatch
agentwatch is local-only observability for every AI coding agent on one machine — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw — on a single timeline, with token + cost accounting, compaction + anomaly detection, and an MCP server agents can query their own history from. No cloud, no telemetry, no sign-in: it reads session logs already on disk. That means there's no auth step and nothing for a human to approve — you can onboard yourself end to end.
1. Install
npm i -g @misha_misha/agentwatch # Node ≥ 20, macOS/Linux
The npm scope is @misha_misha (the bare name was taken); the binary on your PATH
is agentwatch.
2. Verify
agentwatch doctor # lists which agents are installed + whether events are captured
If an agent you use shows "not detected," that's the gap worth reporting — open an issue.
3. Run
agentwatch # TUI live-tail + web UI at http://127.0.0.1:3456
agentwatch serve # web UI only (remote boxes / headless)
agentwatch --help # full flag reference
Press w in the TUI to open the web UI — that's where you drill into projects,
sessions, token charts, call graphs, diff attribution, and replay.
No shell? Register the MCP server
For chat-only / IDE-embedded agents, expose agentwatch over MCP so you can query your own run history:
claude mcp add agentwatch -- npx -y @misha_misha/agentwatch mcp
# or edit ~/.claude.json / ~/.cursor/mcp.json by hand
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.

agentwatch AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mishanefedov/agentwatch (17 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,142 tokens to every session, about $0.0046 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 2026-08-30.
