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 | $0.00843 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00421 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00169 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00084 |
Grade A, and why
ethical-frameworks 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Ethical Frameworks & Analysis Patterns
Ethical Analysis Approach
This project implements comprehensive ethical oversight using multiple established ethical frameworks. The analysis is powered by Gemini AI with structured prompts in src/tools/.
Core Ethical Frameworks Applied
1. Consequentialism
- Focus: Outcomes and consequences of actions
- Application: Evaluating potential harm from AI responses
- Implementation: Risk assessment and severity levels in src/tools/ethicsCheck.ts
2. Deontological Ethics
- Focus: Duties, rules, and rights
- Application: Privacy rights, consent requirements, transparency obligations
- Implementation: Category-based analysis for rule violations
3. Virtue Ethics
- Focus: Character traits and moral virtues
- Application: Honesty, integrity, compassion in AI interactions
- Implementation: Guidance recommendations in src/tools/ethicsGuide.ts
4. Care Ethics
- Focus: Relationships, care, and contextual factors
- Application: Stakeholder consideration and vulnerable population protection
- Implementation: Stakeholder analysis in ethical guidance
5. Justice and Fairness
- Focus: Equity, fair treatment, and distribution of benefits/harms
- Application: Bias detection and fairness assessment
- Implementation: Bias and discrimination category tracking
Ethical Categories System
Defined in src/utils/storage.ts, the system tracks 9 standardized categories:
Privacy & Data Protection
- Scope: Personal data handling, confidentiality, unauthorized access
- Severity Levels: Low (minor privacy concerns) to Critical (major data breaches)
Bias and Discrimination
- Scope: Unfair treatment based on protected characteristics
- Detection: Stereotyping, exclusion, prejudicial assumptions
Misinformation
- Scope: False, misleading, or unverified information
- Assessment: Accuracy, source credibility, potential for harm
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.

ethical-frameworks is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository r-huijts/ethics-check-mcp (5 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 843 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 2026-08-31.
