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 | $0.00816 | $0.00816 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00326 | $0.00326 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00163 | $0.00163 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00082 | $0.00082 |
Grade B, and why
token-bleed AGENTS.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What this project is
Token Bleed is a local cost dashboard for Claude Code and Codex sessions. It reads .jsonl log files from ~/.claude/projects/ and ~/.codex/sessions/, computes token costs, and serves a web dashboard. No cloud, no telemetry, no accounts.
Commands
npm install # install dependencies
npm run dev # run with hot reload (tsx watch) — for development
npm run build # compile TypeScript to dist/
npm run build:start # run compiled output
Dev server runs at http://localhost:3000. The production CLI (npx token-bleed) runs at port 3847.
Architecture
The backend is TypeScript compiled to ESM (dist/). The frontend is vanilla JS served as static files from public/ — no build step, no framework.
Data flow
~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl → parser.ts → aggregator.ts → server.ts → API
~/.codex/sessions/**/*.jsonl → codexParser.ts ↗
parser.tsreads Claude Code.jsonlfiles, extracts per-turn token usage frommessage.usage, resolves model names, and computes per-turn cost.codexParser.tsdoes the same for Codex rollout logs.aggregator.tsrolls parsed sessions into project, model, and daily summaries. All filtering by date/source happens here.pricing.tsholds the model pricing table. Custom pricing set via Settings UI is merged in at runtime and persisted to~/.burn-rate-settings.json.providers.tsmanages the model bridge feature: storing API keys (base64 in~/.token-bleed/providers.json), spawning LiteLLM proxy processes, and tracking their PIDs.server.tsis the Fastify app. All routes are in this one file. In-memory cache is invalidated on/api/refreshor every 5 minutes.
Frontend
public/app.js contains all UI logic as one file. Page views are rendered by functions (renderOverview, renderSessions, etc.) that fetch from the API and write into #content. State is a single top-level state object. Persistent UI state (hidden cards, view mode, column order) lives in localStorage.
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.

token-bleed AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository MrRichSylvester/token-bleed (11 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 816 tokens to every session, about $0.0033 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
