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 | $0.00000 | $0.00077 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00039 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00015 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00008 |
Grade A, and why
dto-conventions 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 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.
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
description: Sets standards for Data Transfer Objects (DTOs), typically records, including parameter validation in compact canonical constructors. globs: **/src/main/java/com/example/dtos/*.java
- Must be of type record, unless specified in a prompt otherwise.
- Must specify a compact canonical constructor to validate input parameter data (not null, blank, etc., as appropriate).
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.

dto-conventions is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository paulpham157/paul-s-cursor-rules (27 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT.
