What is agentdeals AGENTS.md?

Instructions for AgentDeals, an MCP server and REST API that collects developer-service offers such as free tiers, startup credits, and pricing changes. An API is a way for software to request this information programmatically.

Use it to compare developer tools, find free alternatives, check free tiers or startup credits, choose project infrastructure, and monitor pricing changes.

Choosing infrastructure often requires checking several providers and their current costs or free allowances. These instructions show when and how an AI agent can query that deal information.

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	$0.02879	$0.02879
Opus 5.5	$0.01152	$0.01152
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00576	$0.00576
Haiku 4.5	$0.00288	$0.00288

Security

Grade A, and why

agentdeals AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 29d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What We Measure

Because agents read this site far more than they call the MCP server, we attribute every HTTP request to a client class and publish the result at /api/traffic:

Class	What it is
`ai_agent`	LLM agents and AI-assistant fetchers — ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, GPTBot, Claude-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and similar
`search_crawler`	Search-engine indexers — Googlebot, bingbot, Applebot, …
`seo_crawler`	SEO and marketing-intelligence crawlers — AhrefsBot, SemrushBot, …
`other_bot`	Declared bots that are none of the above — link previews, uptime monitors, archivers
`sdk_client`	HTTP libraries and CLIs — undici, python-httpx, curl, Go-http-client, headless browsers
`browser`	A real engine token with no bot marker
`internal`	Our own tooling observing the service. Excluded from the headline counts
`unknown`	Genuinely unattributable, including an absent User-Agent

Changes

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.
