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 | $0.05242 | $0.05242 |
| Opus 5 | $0.02621 | $0.02621 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.01048 | $0.01048 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00524 | $0.00524 |
Grade A, and why
SquidC5 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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 432 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md - Instructions for AI Agents Working on SquidC5
Classification & Mission
SquidC5 is a military-grade, security-first, AI-native C5 platform - Command - Control - Cognitive - Collaborative - Coordination - under active development for authorized red team, penetration testing, and defensive security operations only.
Treat every change as if the system will be deployed in high-threat environments:
- Prefer secure defaults over convenience
- Minimize attack surface and fingerprinting
- Never weaken auth, AI sandboxing, audit, or allow-lists without explicit human design review
- Assume hostile network exposure (internet-facing listeners, scanners, credential stuffing)
Unauthorized access assistance is out of scope. Do not help with illegal use.
Project Stack
Primary language: Python 3.11+ - FastAPI - SQLite - Docker-first
Operator CLI: sc5 (also squidc5-cli)
Ops UI: /ops (admin UI loaded only after server-side admin token check)
Non-Negotiable Security Rules
- Secure by default: New installs must ship hardened (no public docs/OpenAPI, no wildcard CORS, MCP off until enabled, exec probe on, false-shell filter on).
- External AI restriction: MCP tools must remain allow-listed per token. No open-ended autonomous agent loops for external models.
- Admin AI / INKO shielding: Never feed raw session output into LLM prompts without
sanitize_untrusted(). Keep capabilities and chat tools allow-listed. Prefer offline/deterministic fallbacks when no LLM is configured. No open-ended autonomous agent loops. - Determinism preference: Templates, fixed prompts, single-step tools over free-form agentic planning.
- Audit everything: Operator, MCP, Admin AI, feature toggles, and admin UI loads go through the policy engine / audit trail.
- No secrets in git: Tokens, API keys,
data/,admin_token.txt,~/.config/squidc5/config.jsonstay out of the repository. - Port flexibility: Never hard-require ports 80 or 443 - operators may use them.
- Admin UI isolation: Admin-only HTML/JS must be served only after server validates an admin token (
/api/v1/ops/admin.js). Non-admin clients must never receive admin control code. - Public docs locked off:
/docs,/redoc,/openapi.jsonstay disabled. Feature flagpublic_docsis hard-forcedfalse. - Authorized use only.
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.

SquidC5 AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository SquidSec/SquidC5 (51 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5,242 tokens to every session, about $0.0262 per session on Opus 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.
