Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00638 | $0.00638 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00319 | $0.00319 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00128 | $0.00128 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00064 | $0.00064 |
Grade A, and why
security-global-base 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 2d 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.

These rules define essential practices for writing and generating secure code.
They apply universally — to manual development, automated tooling, and AI-generated code.
Our codebase follows a security‑first mindset: security is built in from day one.
All violations must include a clear explanation of which rule was triggered and why, to help developers understand and fix the issue effectively.
Core Security Principles
1. Defense in Depth
- Implement multiple layers of security controls
- Apply security at every level (UI, API, database, infrastructure)
- Never rely on a single security measure
2. Principle of Least Privilege
- Grant minimal access required for functionality
- Use role-based access control (RBAC)
- Limit permissions to the smallest scope necessary
3. Fail Securely
- Default to secure state when errors occur
- Implement graceful degradation
- Never expose sensitive information in error messages
4. Secure by Default
- Ship secure configurations without extra setup
- Enable security features automatically
- Require explicit opt-out for insecure options
5. Keep It Simple
- Reduce complexity to minimize attack surface
- Avoid over-engineering security solutions
- Use proven, well-tested security patterns
Critical Security Rules
1. Do Not Use Raw User Input in Sensitive Operations
- Rule: Untrusted input must never be used directly in file access, command execution, database queries, or similar sensitive operations.
2. Do Not Expose Secrets in Public Code
- Rule: Secrets such as API keys, credentials, private keys, or tokens must not appear in frontend code, public repositories, or client-distributed files.
3. Enforce Secure Communication Protocols
- Rule: Only secure protocols (e.g., HTTPS, TLS) must be used for all external communications.
4. Avoid Executing Dynamic Code
- Rule: Dynamically constructed code or expressions must not be executed at runtime.
5. Validate All External Input
- Rule: Inputs from users, external APIs, or third-party systems must be validated before use.
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.
- 2d ago First seen · 77 lines · 638 tokens per session scan A caa12169275a
security-global-base is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository AdobeDocs/ff-services-docs (4 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 638 tokens to every session, about $0.0032 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
