What is agentpool AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for AgentPool, a framework that configures and coordinates different AI agents with YAML files. They document setup, testing, and code-quality commands.

Use them to install the project with uv, run its unit or integration tests, measure coverage, and check code quality.

They give contributors the project's expected installation and verification steps instead of leaving those commands unclear.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.03580	$0.03580
Opus 5.5	$0.01432	$0.01432
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00716	$0.00716

Security

Grade A, and why

agentpool 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

AgentPool is a unified agent orchestration framework that enables YAML-based configuration of heterogeneous AI agents. It bridges multiple protocols (ACP, AG-UI, OpenCode, MCP) and supports native PydanticAI agents, Claude Code agents, Goose, and other external agents.

Core Philosophy: Define once in YAML, expose through multiple protocols, enable seamless inter-agent collaboration.

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.
