Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00338 | $0.00338 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00169 | $0.00169 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00068 | $0.00068 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00034 | $0.00034 |
Grade A, and why
substack-mcp CLAUDE.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 2d 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.

Conventions & Rules
- FastMCP 3.1+: All tools must use the Portmanteau pattern (consolidated tools with an
operationparameter). - SQLite Storage: All data persists in
data/substack.sqlite3. - Ruff & Biome: Maintain 0 lint errors in both Python (
ruff check) and TypeScript (biome check .). - No Bare Ports: Always clear ports

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.
