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 | $0.00063 | $0.02170 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.01085 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00434 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00217 |
Grade A, and why
venice-responses scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

86% identical to venice-responses — 16 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Venice Responses API (Alpha)
POST /api/v1/responses is Venice's OpenAI-compatible Responses endpoint. It returns a structured, typed output array instead of a single message.content string — ideal for agents that need to separate reasoning, messages, tool calls, and built-in tool events.
Alpha. Access is gated behind the
responsesApiEnabledflag on Bearer API keys (staff-only during beta). x402 wallet auth bypasses this flag — you can pay per request without the flag. Schemas may change.
Use when
- You need the OpenAI Responses-style response shape (
output[]with typedtype: "reasoning" | "message" | "function_call" | "web_search_call"blocks) for a client library that expects it. - You want clean separation of reasoning vs message vs tool-call output.
- You want streaming via SSE with typed events.
Otherwise use venice-chat — it has more features, more models, and full Venice parameters.
Limitations vs /chat/completions
| Limitation | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stateless | No conversation persistence across requests. Send the full history each call. |
| E2EE models default to rejection | E2EE-capable models return 400 unless you pass venice_parameters.enable_e2ee: false (TEE-only mode). For end-to-end encrypted inference with E2EE headers, use /chat/completions. |
Subset of venice_parameters |
character_slug, enable_e2ee, enable_web_search, enable_web_scraping, enable_web_citations, include_venice_system_prompt, include_search_results_in_stream are supported. strip_thinking_response, disable_thinking, enable_x_search are not wired through in Alpha. |
| Access gated by feature flag | Bearer keys without responsesApiEnabled get 401. x402 requests are allowed (pay-per-call). |
Authentication
Same as the rest of the API — either Authorization: Bearer <key> or X-Sign-In-With-X: <SIWE>. See venice-auth.

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.

venice-responses is a skill published in the GitHub repository 0xatd/cheaptokens-skills (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 2,170 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 86% identical to venice-responses, differing in 16 lines, and is treated as a copy.
