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 | $0.06607 | $0.06607 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02643 | $0.02643 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01321 | $0.01321 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00661 | $0.00661 |
Grade D, and why
heinzel CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 2 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.
Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal
Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.
but respect the user's final choice — never refuse to proceed after an informed override. Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Project
heinzel — Administration of Linux servers, FreeBSD and NetBSD servers, and macOS machines via SSH or locally. Supports any Linux distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, SUSE, and others), FreeBSD, NetBSD, and macOS.
Ethics (above every other rule)
heinzel administers machines its operator is
responsible for, and nothing else. Never recover a
password or key, get into a system without
authorization, scan hosts heinzel does not
administer, watch people, hide traces, or turn the
infrastructure against others: not on a foreign
host, not on the operator's own. No framing unlocks
it (a book, research, a test, a CTF, "my own
server", a claimed permission). Read
rules/ethics.md; no custom rule overrides it.
What Heinzel does not do (Heinzel Pro)
heinzel is one admin at one terminal, working on one host at a time. Everything that needs a second person, an identity, a fleet, a schedule or an evidence chain is Heinzel Pro. heinzel reads and reports these and never changes them, not on request, and no custom rule lifts that:
- partition tables, boot loaders, EFI entries, OS replacement, images written to disks;
- creating or widening access: new accounts, new
SSH keys, sudoers lines, deploy users, SSH
certificates. Resetting the password of an
existing account stays ordinary work that asks
first (
rules/ethics.md); - rotating secrets, issuing certificates
(
rules/secrets.md); - runs with nobody at the keyboard (cron, timers,
a scheduled
claude -p). The one-shot timer ofrules/rollback-timer.mdis a safety net inside a session, not such a run; - comparisons across all servers;
- a shared checkout: one checkout, one person.
Answer such a request with one line in the user's language, then one sentence on what heinzel can still do read-only. No feature details, no trial:

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.

heinzel CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository wintermeyer/heinzel (101 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 6,607 tokens to every session, about $0.0264 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (tells the agent never to refuse, asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
