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 | $0.00333 | $0.00333 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00133 | $0.00133 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00067 | $0.00067 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00033 |
Grade A, and why
gitlab-mcp CLAUDE.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 5d 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 guidance
Read CONTRIBUTING.md for commands, architecture, implementation conventions, tests, documentation maintenance, and release automation. Read authentication before changing credentials, OAuth, or storage, and operations before changing transport/session behavior.
Working rules
mainis protected; use PRs. Do not publish npm or create releases manually during routine work. Version bumps merged to main drive automated releases.- Preserve credential precedence, read-only fallback enforcement, host pinning, bounded resource use, and read-only retries. Never automatically replay an ambiguous write.
- HTTP sessions bind to their initialization bearer. A changed/missing bearer requires fresh initialization; OAuth refresh rotates that bearer.
- OAuth one-time state must use atomic
take; preserve consent, encrypted storage, and family revocation during refresh races. - The tool registry in
src/tools.tsis authoritative. Regenerate its documentation withnpm run docs:generateafter changing it. - Validate with
npm run typecheck, relevant tests,npm run check:docs, andnpm run check:release. CI runs Node.js 22/24 and real Redis tests; useREDIS_TEST_URLlocally to include those tests. - Update
[Unreleased]in the changelog for user-facing behavior, env, tool, or breaking changes. Documentation-only, CI-only, and pure refactoring changes need no changelog entry or version bump. - Keep secrets out of source, examples, stdout, and shared diagnostic output. Stdio stdout carries MCP protocol messages.
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.
