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 | $0.00011 | $0.00253 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00127 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00051 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00025 |
Grade A, and why
airflow-adapter 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 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.
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
Airflow Adapter Pattern
Enables compatibility with both Airflow 2.x (/api/v1) and 3.x (/api/v2).
Architecture
MCP Tool → _get_adapter() → AirflowV2Adapter or AirflowV3Adapter → Airflow API
Version is auto-detected at startup.
Key Files
adapters/base.py- Abstract interfaceadapters/airflow_v2.py- Airflow 2.x (/api/v1)adapters/airflow_v3.py- Airflow 3.x (/api/v2)

Quick Reference
adapter = _get_adapter()
dags = adapter.list_dags(limit=100)
run = adapter.trigger_dag_run("my_dag", conf={"key": "value"})
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

airflow-adapter is a skill published in the GitHub repository astronomer/astro-airflow-mcp (13 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 253 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
