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 | $0.06735 | $0.06735 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02694 | $0.02694 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01347 | $0.01347 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00673 | $0.00673 |
Grade A, and why
ai AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

AGENTS.md — UptimeRobot
Orientation for coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Aider, etc.) that need to create, inspect, or control UptimeRobot monitors on a user's behalf.
What UptimeRobot is
UptimeRobot monitors websites, APIs, servers, DNS, and services. It probes each target on an interval (15s–24h, heartbeats up to 31 days; the plan sets the actual minimum), records up/down state plus response times, opens incidents on downtime, and fires alerts (email, SMS, webhooks, Slack, etc.) through alert contacts.
Key entities:
- Monitor — one probe against one target. Has a
type(HTTP, KEYWORD, PING, PORT, HEARTBEAT, DNS, API, UDP), a URL/host, an interval, and a status (e.g.UP,DOWN,PAUSED). - Incident — a downtime event (or a slow-response / visual-change event — filter on
type: "Downtime"for outages). Opens when a monitor goes down, closes when it recovers.get-incident-detailsreturnsrequestLogs(per-check request/response data) and the readablereason;get-incident-activity-logstatus entries carry the checker'sremoteNode(IP, city, country). - Alert contact — a notification destination attached to monitors with a threshold and recurrence. Two kinds: personal alert contacts (email, Pro SMS, voice, mobile push —
list-alert-contacts) and integrations (Slack, webhook, PagerDuty, etc. —list-integrations). Both supply IDs forassignedAlertContacts.list-integrationsalso returns the account's personal contacts, so dedupe byidand tell personal contacts apart bytype(email, SMS, voice, push). - Tag — free-form label assigned to monitors.
- Maintenance window — scheduled period where alerts for attached monitors are suppressed.
- Third-party service, a tracked outside provider (cloud, payments, SaaS) whose public status page UptimeRobot watches. Not returned by
list-monitors.
Plans: don't hard-code plan names (live accounts report e.g. Scale) — read activeSubscription.plan from get-user. Availability of specific monitor types and minimum intervals depends on the active plan. The MCP server enforces all limits.
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.
