SAP/astonish is a multi-tenant AI agent platform that lets teams run agents with shared memory, reusable workflows, generated interfaces, and secure sandboxes. Teams use it either as a shared PostgreSQL-backed platform or as a standalone SQLite application, and the catalogue contains instructions for working with it.

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 | $0.02355 | $0.02355 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00942 | $0.00942 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00471 | $0.00471 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00235 | $0.00235 |
Grade A, and why
astonish 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 24d 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 — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Project overview
Astonish is an AI-agent platform distributed as one Go binary. It supports a local coding TUI, a remote multi-tenant chat/platform, HTTP/SSE APIs, reusable flows, tools/MCP, memory, browser automation, fleet orchestration, and isolated execution through Docker OverlayFS, Kubernetes, or OpenShell backends. The Studio UI is a React SPA embedded into the Go binary.
The repository is primarily:
- Go 1.26 (
go.mod, toolchaingo1.26.1) for the CLI, agent runtime, API, storage, TUI, and sandbox backends. - React 19 + TypeScript/legacy JSX + Vite + Tailwind CSS 4 under
web/. - Ent for scoped persistence, with SQLite for personal/development use and PostgreSQL for the multi-tenant platform.
Before changing a subsystem, read the nearest nested AGENTS.md; those files contain stricter subsystem-specific contracts and override this root guide.

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.

astonish AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository SAP/astonish (24 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 2,355 tokens to every session, about $0.0094 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.
