Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

Awesome-AI-Security 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 9d 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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This repo is a curated Markdown list of resources, research, and tools for securing AI systems. Keep entries accurate, neutral, and consistently formatted. No builds, no deps, no CI edits.

Scope

  • ✅ Edit README.md entries, anchors, and section ordering.
  • ❌ Don’t add dependencies/tools or touch repo settings.
  • Precedence: if a subfolder ever has its own AGENTS.md, the closest file to what you edit wins.

House style (must)

  • One-line entries. Use: - [Name](https://link) — short, neutral description.
  • Separator: en dash (not a hyphen) between link and description.
  • Tone: Neutral, factual, vendor-agnostic. No marketing fluff.
  • Casing: Keep official project names/caps as published.
  • Images: Do not add decorative graphics.
  • Sections: Use the canonical labels; don’t invent new ones.

GitHub stars (when used)

Use a social stars badge for GitHub repos where stars are requested.

- [Project — @owner](https://github.com/owner/repo) [![GitHub Repo stars](https://img.shields.io/github/stars/owner/repo?logo=github&label=&style=social)](https://github.com/owner/repo) — <≤25-word neutral description>.

Sorting

  • If a subsection says “sort by stars” → descending by star count.
  • Otherwise → alphabetical by project name.

Conflicts

  • If guidance conflicts, README.md is the content source of truth; AGENTS.md governs how to edit it (style, sorting, safety).
  • Prefer official/canonical replacements.
  • If a project is archived/unmaintained, remove it or mark “(archived)” with the date.
  • Avoid non-official mirrors unless the upstream is permanently gone.

PR title format

  • [section] <short purpose>; examples:
    • [tools] add LLMFuzzer + stars
    • [matrices] update AIDEFEND description

Canonical section labels (use exactly)

  • Incident Repositories, Trackers & Monitors
  • Third-Party Assessment (replaces “Vendor Risk & TPRM”)
  • Research Feed (not “Index”)
  • Attack & Defense Matrices → subsections Attack / Defense
  • Agentic Systems — Governance, Standards & Guides
  • Standards & Specs (under Supply Chain Security)

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.
