nnsight is a Python library for examining and changing the internal values of deep-learning models, such as layer activations, gradients, and intermediate computations. Researchers and developers use it to study model behavior and causal effects in local PyTorch models or remotely through NDIF. The catalogue entry provides instructions for AI agents working with nnsight.

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 | $0.00091 | $0.00091 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00036 | $0.00036 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00018 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00009 |
Grade A, and why
nnsight 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 21d 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.
What it actually says
nnsight — Agent Guide
The agent guide for this repo is CLAUDE.md: contribution rules (PRs target dev), a by-task table of docs pages, and the mistakes to avoid before writing nnsight code.
The docs router is docs/index.md. Something broke? Start at docs/errors/symptom-index.md.
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.

nnsight AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ndif-team/nnsight (1,142 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 91 tokens to every session, about $0.0004 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 2026-10-17.
