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 5.1 | $0.00006 | $0.00134 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00054 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00027 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00013 |
Grade A, and why
backend-python 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
Backend Python Stack Rule
For Python backend code:
- Keep route/view handlers thin; move domain logic into services or use cases.
- Separate request handling, business rules, and data access where practical.
- Validate inputs at framework boundaries.
- Make failure paths explicit and map exceptions to clear responses.
- Preserve meaningful errors for logging and monitoring.
- Avoid hidden side effects in helpers and utilities.
- Keep domain logic readable and testable with normal Python tests.
- Prefer extending existing service patterns instead of inventing new structures.
- Consider backward compatibility, observability, rollback, and migration implications.
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.

backend-python is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository p-to-q/repo-template (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 6 tokens to every session and 134 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-31.
