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 | $0.01306 | $0.01306 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00522 | $0.00522 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00261 | $0.00261 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00131 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
truss-agent-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 1mo 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.

Architecture (where to edit)
src/truss-cli.ts → entry; routes subcommands
src/server.ts → local MCP server (stdio)
src/remote/validate-remote.ts → hosted OAuth doctor
src/tools/register-tools.ts + schemas.ts → seven local stdio tools
src/config.ts, client.ts, instructions.ts → MCP config + host instructions
src/ask/* → CLI search REPL only (not hosted MCP runtime)
src/lib/* → shared helpers (mask secrets, FilterQL, summaries)
- Remote (recommended): host →
https://api.truss-security.com/mcp(OAuth) — see docs/05 - Local stdio: host LLM → MCP tools →

Public API boundary (do not expand without API + SDK work)
Allowed routes: POST /product/search, POST /product/search/stix, GET /product/{id}/stix.
Do not add tools or code calling admin routes (/search/smart, /search/vector, GET /product/{id} JSON, writes, pg-query, etc.).
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.
