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 | $0.00080 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00040 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00016 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00008 |
Grade A, and why
function-length-and-responsibility 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.

What it actually says
description: This rule enforces the single responsibility principle, ensuring functions are short and focused. globs: **/.
- Write short functions that only do one thing.
- Follow the single responsibility principle (SRP), which means that a function should have one purpose and perform it effectively.
- If a function becomes too long or complex, consider breaking it into smaller, more manageable functions.
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.

function-length-and-responsibility is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository paulpham157/paul-s-cursor-rules (27 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 80 tokens. 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 2026-09-03.
