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 | $0.01335 | $0.01335 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00534 | $0.00534 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00267 | $0.00267 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00134 | $0.00134 |
Grade B, and why
gryph AGENTS.md scanned grade B 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 10d 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Gryph
Build
make deps # Install dependencies
make generate # Generate ent code
make gryph # Build binary
make test # Run tests
make lint # Run linter (golangci-lint)
Always run make lint before submitting changes to catch issues early.
When modifying the Event model (core/events/event.go) or any payload types, run make generate-schema.
Architecture
core/ Domain models (events, sessions, audit, security) - most stable
config/ Viper-based configuration
storage/ SQLite + ent ORM
agent/ Adapter pattern (claudecode/, cursor/ and more)
hookside/ Work the hook process does as the agent user: project claim, transcript cost
decision/ Decision service: label, redact, evaluate, and record one hook event
decision/ipc/ Wire format between the hook client and the decision service: frames, bounds, the connection loop
engine/ Runtime assembly: config, store, registry, policy check, decision service
selfprotect/ Self-protection vocabulary: assets, levels, profiles, and the user-scope provider
platform/ Operating-system specific code behind small interfaces (account identity, no-follow file access, scheduler, processes, kernel settings, peer credentials, socket listening, file name case, launchd jobs)
supervisor/ The decision service outside the agent user: one socket, a partition per peer uid, per-account limits. Imports engine, never cli. Opens files only through platform/nofollow (architecture test and forbidigo rule)
cli/ Cobra commands as an App pattern over the engine runtime
tui/ Output formatters (table, json, csv)

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.

gryph AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository safedep/gryph (180 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,335 tokens to every session, about $0.0053 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
