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 | $0.00212 | $0.00212 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00085 | $0.00085 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00042 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00021 |
Grade A, and why
codex-task-watchdog 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.
What it actually says
Repository instructions
- Read
skills/codex-watchdog/SKILL.md,skills/codex-watchdog/references/protocol.md, andskills/codex-watchdog/references/timeout-policy.mdbefore changing behavior. - Keep the project standard-library-only unless maintainers explicitly accept a dependency.
- Use only synthetic log events, paths, IDs, and labels in tests and documentation.
- Never commit Codex databases, runtime state, incidents, recovery manifests, session files, rollouts, generated images, credentials, proxy settings, or absolute contributor paths.
- Preserve the safety boundary: notify and record; do not automatically retry tools, send prompts, spend quota, kill Codex, or delete task data.
- Keep parallel attempts isolated by exact
call_idor full opaque watchdog tag. - Run
python -m unittest discover -s skills/codex-watchdog/scripts -p "test_*.py" -vafter changes. - Update tests, protocol documentation, and schemas together when state-machine behavior changes.
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.
