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 | $0.05875 | $0.05875 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02350 | $0.02350 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01175 | $0.01175 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00588 | $0.00588 |
Grade A, and why
talonic-mcp 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 15d 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 — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — Orientation for AI agents working in talonic-mcp
This is the canonical agent-facing guide for this repository. It is read by Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other agent tools that look for
AGENTS.md.CLAUDE.mdis a short Claude Code entry point that points here.
This repo is the Talonic MCP server — a Node package (@talonic/mcp) that exposes Talonic's document-extraction API as Model Context Protocol tools. It runs two ways from one codebase:
- stdio — for local installs (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Cowork) launched via
npx @talonic/mcp. - Streamable HTTP — the hosted server at
mcp.talonic.com, used by Claude.ai connectors.
⚠️ #1 footgun: there are TWO parallel docs surfaces
Before changing any documentation content, internalise this — it has caused weeks of silent drift:
| Edit this… | …to change this page |
|---|---|
src/content/sections/*.ts → @talonic/mcp/content |
talonic.com/docs/mcp/* (the MCP docs) |
docs/sections.json → @talonic/docs (synced via the platform repo) |
the mcp content domain of @talonic/docs, which no page currently renders — NOT /docs/mcp/, and not /docs/{sdk,api,platform}/* either |
If you edit docs/sections.json expecting the MCP docs page to change, nothing on /docs/mcp will move. Full architecture, the four-file checklist for adding a tool, the failure-mode table, and the CI-token map live in docs/architecture/docs-pipeline.md — read it before any non-trivial doc change.
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.
