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 | $0.01148 | $0.01148 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00459 | $0.00459 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00230 | $0.00230 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00115 | $0.00115 |
Grade A, and why
AgentRelay 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.

AgentRelay repository instructions
Prime directive
Understand the system before changing it. Write the smallest clear solution that fully solves the requested problem. Do not trade readability for cleverness, and do not add abstractions, configuration, or defensive machinery without a concrete need.
Before editing
- Inspect
git status, the relevant implementation, its callers, and nearby tests. - Preserve unrelated work, including untracked files and stashes.
- Read the relevant design source:
docs/architecture.mdfor current component and ownership boundaries.docs/hld.mdfor the implemented mailbox and Relay control-plane flow.docs/lld.mdfor current schemas, routes, tools, and known gaps.docs/rfcs/002-agent-reachability-and-durable-mailbox.mdfor the public product, durable-mailbox, and sovereignty decisions.docs/rfcs/001-agentrelay-node-and-missions.mdfor historical Labs decisions that explain the preserved implementation.
- Trace cross-package behavior through
protocol/,relay/,mcp-server/, andnode/as applicable. A contract is not understood until its producer and consumer have both been checked. - Treat active code and tests as current behavior. Public documentation explains shipped behavior and existing boundaries; it is not a long-range product roadmap. Take future implementation scope only from the owner's explicit task or a currently scoped public issue. If code and a design source disagree, state the discrepancy instead of silently choosing.
Implementation style
- Make the smallest coherent change that satisfies the request.
- Prefer direct code and existing patterns over speculative reuse.
- Extract a helper only when it names a real rule, removes meaningful duplication, or makes a failure boundary easier to see.
- Keep functions focused, names concrete, and data flow easy to follow.
- Comments explain why, constraints, or non-obvious failure modes. Do not narrate what the code already says.
- Do not perform unrelated cleanup or add features "while you are here."
- Do not add a dependency unless the task genuinely needs it. Explain any addition.
- Preserve public HTTP, JSON-RPC, MCP, CLI, database, and config contracts unless the task explicitly changes them.
- Behavioral changes require focused tests for the changed contract. Do not add speculative tests for unrelated or hypothetical behavior.
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.

AgentRelay AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository swayamg20/AgentRelay (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,148 tokens to every session, about $0.0046 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 2026-08-31.
