Prowler is an open-source cloud security platform that checks cloud environments for security issues and compliance with standards such as CIS, NIST, and GDPR. Security teams use it to assess configurations, prioritize findings, produce reports, and guide remediation.

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 | $0.02928 | $0.02928 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01171 | $0.01171 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00586 | $0.00586 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00293 | $0.00293 |
Grade A, and why
prowler 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 1mo 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 — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Repository Guidelines
How to Use This Guide
- Start here for cross-project norms. Prowler is a monorepo with several components.
- Each component has an
AGENTS.mdfile with specific guidelines (e.g.,api/AGENTS.md,ui/AGENTS.md). - Component docs override this file when guidance conflicts.

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.

prowler AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository prowler-cloud/prowler (15,095 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 2,928 tokens to every session, about $0.0117 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 2026-08-30.
