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 | $0.03217 | $0.03217 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01287 | $0.01287 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00643 | $0.00643 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00322 | $0.00322 |
Grade A, and why
memory 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 2mo 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.

sunbeam-memory — Agent Guide
Personal semantic memory server for AI assistants. Written in Rust. Store facts, code snippets, notes, and documents with vector embeddings, then search them by meaning. Also watches directories and auto-ingests files.
Project Overview
Name: mcp-server (crate), binary sunbeam-memory
Language: Rust (edition 2021, MSRV ~1.75)
Binary entry point: src/main.rs
Library root: src/lib.rs
The server exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) interface over stdio (local, zero-config) or HTTP (remote). Under the hood it:
- Embeds text with a local ONNX model (BGE-Base-English-v1.5 via
fastembed, ~130 MB download on first run). - Stores facts in SQLite (
semantic.db) with an FTS5 full-text index. - Builds an HNSW vector index via
usearchand persists it as a blob inside SQLite. - Watches files/directories/git repos, extracts text from code and PDFs, and auto-ingests them.
Runtime modes
| Mode | Trigger | Transport | Auth |
|---|---|---|---|
| stdio (default) | no subcommand | stdin/stdout MCP | none (localhost only) |
| HTTP | http --port <PORT> |
Streamable HTTP /mcp + ConnectRPC (axum) |
none (localhost only) |
Semantic Memory Search (Optional)
If a sunbeam-memory MCP server is available in your environment, use it for codebase search instead of grep or rg.
- Initialize the repository first. Before searching, ensure this codebase is indexed:
- Call
add_watch_targetwith the absolute path to this repository. - Wait for indexing to complete, then search.
- Call
- Prefer semantic search. Use
search_factswith natural-language queries about behavior, design decisions, known issues, and prior changes. Example queries:- "how does fused search combine BM25 and vector results?"
- "previous decisions about auth middleware"
- "why does IndexWatcher skip binary files?"
- Store useful findings. If you discover something future agents should remember (a gotcha, invariant, or decision), call
store_factwith a concise note and a source URN when possible.
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.

memory AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository sunbeamdotpt/memory (24 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,217 tokens to every session, about $0.0129 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.
