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 | $0.02740 | $0.02740 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01096 | $0.01096 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00548 | $0.00548 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00274 | $0.00274 |
Grade A, and why
inspect-robots 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 — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Inspect Robots — agent guide
This is the single instruction file for every coding agent in this repo. Codex
and most agents read AGENTS.md directly; Claude Code loads it through the
one-line CLAUDE.md (@AGENTS.md). Edit this file, never CLAUDE.md.
Inspect Robots is the "Inspect AI for robotics": an open-source evaluation framework for physical AI / VLA (vision-language-action) models. This repo is the framework; concrete benchmarks and backend adapters live elsewhere (see below).
The one big idea
LLM evals have one swappable input (the model). Robotics evals have two:
Policy(the VLA "brain") — observation →ActionChunk(open-loop horizon).Embodiment(the robot/sim "body + world") — executes actions, owns spaces.
A Task (a dataset of Scenes + scorers) is defined independently of both.
eval() checks a (policy, embodiment) pair is compatible, runs the closed-loop
rollout, scores it, and writes an immutable EvalLog. Mirrors Inspect AI's
Task = dataset + solver + scorer, eval(), EvalLog, registry/decorator model.
Layout
src/inspect_robots/— the package (seesrc/inspect_robots/CLAUDE.mdfor the module map).tests/— pytest; theCubePickmock world exercises the whole stack with no hardware or sim.plans/— design docs.plans/0001-foundation-design.mdis the authoritative spec (read its §9–§11 "binding resolutions" before changing core interfaces).examples/— runnable demos (quickstart.py).plugins/*— first-party plugin packages (concrete sims/VLAs that are out of scope for the numpy-only core), each its own package with its own pyproject, entry point, tests, and coverage scope. A uv workspace ([tool.uv.workspace]) ties them in:uv sync --all-packages --extra devinstalls core + all plugins editable. They never count toward the core 100% gate (coverage is scoped toinspect_robots).

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.

inspect-robots AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository robocurve/inspect-robots (743 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,740 tokens to every session, about $0.0110 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 2026-10-04.
