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 | $0.00315 | $0.00315 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00126 | $0.00126 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00063 | $0.00063 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
cursorrules 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 14d 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
Context Engine
When the context-engine MCP server is connected, this workspace is indexed: for any question about the codebase, call repo_search FIRST, before ls/find/Grep/Read, and again whenever you move to a new area; for how/why questions that span several files use context_answer. Results are verified source with exact line ranges: treat them as already read. Use Grep only to confirm an exact literal in a file you already know, or to count. For questions asking for every/all sites, run one repo_search per distinct pattern (queries=[...]) and follow the refs. If the tools are listed as deferred, load them with ToolSearch first.
| Need | Tool |
|---|---|
| Find code by behavior, concept, error text or identifier | repo_search (queries=[...] for several at once; under, language, path_glob to narrow) |
| Explain how/why across several files, with citations | context_answer |
| Definition, callers, callees, importers, references of a symbol | symbol_graph (several names: A|B|C) |
| Multi-hop impact before a change | graph_query |
| Code that may live in another indexed repo | cross_repo_search |
Before editing, fetch every involved symbol in one call; before a rename or signature change, get every site with symbol_graph query_type=references. Search again only after learning something new.
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.

cursorrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Context-Engine-AI/Context-Engine (400 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 315 tokens to every session, about $0.0013 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
