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 | $0.00698 | $0.00698 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00279 | $0.00279 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00140 | $0.00140 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00070 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
portmap 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Guide — portmap
What this is
A deterministic CLI + MCP server that maps local dev topology for AI agents: declared ports (configs), runtime listeners (OS), and env URL references.
It does not start/stop processes, kill ports, or call an LLM. It reads the
filesystem and OS socket table, then emits .portmap.json and actionable
findings (PRT-01 … PRT-07).

Build & test
npm ci

npm run demo:mismatch # expect PRT-01, PRT-04 findings
npm run demo:full-stack # multiple declared services
npm run demo:workspace # cross-project env resolution
All tests must pass before commit.
Non-negotiable conventions
- Deterministic only — no LLM, no network calls in the scan path.
- Finding IDs are public API — never renumber (
PRT-01, …). - Prefer false negatives over noisy false positives.
- Read-only v1 — no start/stop/kill (Switchboard/PortPilot own lifecycle).
- When adding a rule: update
docs/FINDINGS.md, README, skills, and tests.
When agents need port context
- Run
portmap scan .(orportmap declare .if nothing is running). - Read
references[]for correct localhost URLs — never guess:3000. - Fix findings: PRT-04 (broken env URL) before debugging API connectivity.
- Use MCP tools
portmap_graph/portmap_resolve_urlwhen configured. - Never re-implement topology discovery with an LLM — trust CLI output.
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.

portmap AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository paladini/portmap (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 698 tokens to every session, about $0.0028 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 2026-08-31.
