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 | $0.00278 | $0.00278 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00111 | $0.00111 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00056 | $0.00056 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00028 |
Grade A, and why
azure-devops-mcp-vscode 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
Agent Guidance
VS Code reuses the existing Microsoft session for Azure DevOps MCP tools. Do not run Azure DevOps PRs (MCP): Sign In to Azure DevOps routinely; ask the user to complete sign-in only when an operation reports missing or expired authentication.
Keep VS Code's built-in Git extension enabled. This extension uses its repository API for workspace discovery, checkout, and local pull request refreshes.
When the Azure DevOps organization, project, or repository is unknown, call get_workspace_repositories once. Prefer its activeRepository; otherwise use the returned workspace repository list rather than searching files or manually parsing Git remotes.
When a user asks to show, open, view, or review a specific pull request, call get_pull_request directly. It renders the interactive review card. Use list_pull_requests only when the pull request ID is unknown.
Use create_pull_request to prepare a local editable draft. It does not create a remote pull request. Present the draft for the user to edit, ask whether they want any text changes, and wait for explicit confirmation before using submit_pull_request, which creates the remote PR and requires confirm: true.
Run npm test before completing extension changes. Package with npx vsce package after a version bump when a local install or release artifact is needed.
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.
