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 | $0.00411 | $0.00411 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00164 | $0.00164 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00082 | $0.00082 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00041 |
Grade A, and why
awesome-mcp-registry copilot-instructions.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.
What it actually says
Copilot instructions
The authoritative rules for AI agents in this repository are in AGENTS.md — read it before proposing changes. Summary:
- This is an AI-curated registry of MCP servers. A weekly job discovers, judges and scores every server; there is no human approval step and no manual entry.
- Never edit generated files:
README.md,SCORES.md,data/known_servers.json,data/star_history.jsonl,badges/**. They are rewritten on every run, and PRs touching them are closed automatically. - Never propose a pull request that adds, removes, re-scores or re-categorizes a server.
Those go through issue forms:
nominate,
report,
maintainer opt-out,
exclusion appeal.
Keep the forms'
###headings — the intake workflows match on them. - Never invent a trust score, category, verdict or listing date. Read them from
data/known_servers.jsonor say you don't know. - Code contributions are welcome:
scripts/(Python 3.11,requests+pyyaml),prompts/analyzer.prompt.yml,.github/workflows/. Runpython scripts/test_trust.pybefore proposing a change; don't commit regenerated output alongside it, and don't touch the frozen fixtures indata/canary/.
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.
