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 | $0.00750 | $0.00750 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00300 | $0.00300 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00150 | $0.00150 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00075 | $0.00075 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-server 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.

Project Overview
This is a Python project designed to serve as an MCP (Multi-Cloud Platform) server. It utilizes FastAPI for the web framework and Uvicorn as the ASGI server. The project also includes an agents-library for managing agent-related rules and prompts.
Technologies Used
- Python
- FastAPI: Web framework for building APIs.
- Uvicorn: ASGI server.
- mcp: Multi-Cloud Platform SDK.
Project Structure
Dockerfile: Used for containerizing the application.requirements.txt: Lists Python dependencies, generated fromrequirements.inbypip-compile.requirements.in: Defines direct Python dependencies for the project.app/: Contains the core application logic.server.py: The main FastAPI application server.
agents-library/: Stores agent-related rules and prompts, categorized by type.bash/: Contains bash scripts used by agents.markdown/: Contains markdown files with agent instructions and prompts.
.github/: Contains GitHub Actions workflow definitions and other repository configurations.tests/: Contains unit and integration tests for the application.test_server.py: Tests for the main FastAPI server.
docs/: Contains project documentation.contributing.md: Guidelines for contributing to the project.
Taskfile.yml: Defines various development tasks using Task (e.g., linting, testing, running the server).

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.
