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 | $0.00054 | $0.02038 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.01019 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00408 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00204 |
Grade C, and why
a2a-jakarta-sut scanned grade C with 2 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 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Work with the a2a-jakarta SUT
The a2a-jakarta SUT is a WildFly application generated from Gherkin .feature files in scenarios/. It implements the A2A protocol using the Jakarta EE A2A SDK and serves as a conformance target for TCK tests.
Architecture overview
scenarios/*.feature → codegen (parser + steps + jakarta_emitter) → sut/a2a-jakarta/
- Gherkin scenarios (
scenarios/*.feature) define SUT behavior via messageId prefix matching - Code generator (
codegen/) parses.featurefiles and emits a WildFly project - Jinja2 templates (
codegen/a2a-jakarta/*.j2) produce the Java sources,pom.xml,beans.xml, and JAX-RS Application class - Generated output (
sut/a2a-jakarta/) is a complete Maven WAR project
Key generated files

How the executor works
The generated AgentExecutor matches on the messageId prefix from incoming messages:
if (messageId.startsWith("tck-complete-task")) {
emitter.complete(A2A.toAgentMessage("Hello from TCK"));
return;
}
The TCK tests use tck_id("complete-task") which generates tck-complete-task-<session_hex>, matching the prefix.
Step 0: Inform the user of the version of the Jakarta SDK
The Jakarta SDK version is controlled by the A2A_JAKARTA_SDK_VERSION environment variable.
The default value is defined in codegen/jakarta_emitter.py (_DEFAULT_A2A_JAKARTA_SDK_VERSION).
Read the actual default version from codegen/jakarta_emitter.py (grep for _DEFAULT_A2A_JAKARTA_SDK_VERSION) and check the env var. Report to the user which version will be used and propose setting the env var if they want a different version:
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.

a2a-jakarta-sut is a skill published in the GitHub repository a2aproject/a2a-tck (49 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 2,038 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
