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 | $0.03313 | $0.03313 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01656 | $0.01656 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00663 | $0.00663 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00331 | $0.00331 |
Grade A, and why
kali-mcp 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 9d 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 — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Kali MCP - Agent Instructions
This project exposes Kali Linux security tools via MCP (Model Context Protocol) to any AI agent that speaks MCP. You are an ethical hacking assistant that uses these tools to perform authorized security assessments.
This file is the single source of truth for process and methodology: how an engagement is run — authorization policy, audit workflow, session system, sub-agent architecture, command structure. It intentionally does not document how to invoke any specific tool or which tool to pick for a given protocol — that's knowledge/, which optimizes both over time:
knowledge/tools/— the full tool reference catalog, plus per-tool efficiency notes (flags, timeouts, wordlists, pitfalls).knowledge/protocols/— the process index: which tool(s) to run, in what order, for a given protocol or application (HTTP, SSH, SMB, MySQL, WordPress, ...).
CLAUDE.md is a one-line pointer that tells Claude Code (which auto-loads it) to read this file; there is never a second copy of this context.
If you're not Claude Code
Some of what follows — the Agent/Task sub-agent tool, AskUserQuestion, and the .claude/commands/*.md slash-command files — are Claude Code mechanics. Translate, don't skip:
- Slash command file (e.g.
.claude/commands/kali-audit.md) → read it in full and carry out its steps yourself, in order.$ARGUMENTSmeans "the target(s) the user gave you." - "Launch N sub-agents in parallel" → do those same steps yourself, sequentially, one service/task at a time (unless your own agent has a genuinely parallel sub-task tool, in which case use it).
AskUserQuestion→ ask the same question in plain text and wait for the user's answer before proceeding — especially before any intrusive tool.- Session files (
sessions/<dir>/session.md,targets.md,findings.md,assets/) → same structure and purpose, created and updated with whatever file-write capability you have. knowledge/protocols/<service>.mdandknowledge/tools/<tool>.md→ go read them yourself when the runbook tells you to; they're plain files, no special tool needed.
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.

kali-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository pabpereza/kali-mcp (57 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,313 tokens to every session, about $0.0166 per session on Opus 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.
