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 | $0.00099 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00040 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00020 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00010 |
Grade A, and why
git-guardrails 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 1mo 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
git-guardrails — ave
Block: push --force, reset --hard, clean -fd, rebase -i on pushed commits.
Before commit: python scripts/validate_records.py # all records valid pytest tests/ -x -q # rules fire correctly
Record-specific
NEVER renumber an ave_id. Once AVE-2026-00001 is published, that number is permanent. A wrong record gets deprecated, not renumbered.
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.

git-guardrails is a skill published in the GitHub repository aveproject/ave (24 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 99 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 2026-08-30.

crossval-harness
Orchestrate a static + dynamic, exploit-validated red-team of an AI agent — read the source to find candidate vulnerable paths, then run the dynamic skills to confirm or refute each one empirically. The arbiter of truth is whether the exploit works, not a model vote. Authorized testing of agents you own or are…
redteam-an-agent
The end-to-end methodology for red-teaming a specific AI agent — adaptively, exploit-validated, and honestly. Read THIS target's own code, stand up a disposable harness, and prove or refute each weakness through a real attacker-reachable entry point. This is the orchestration + discipline that makes a finding…
audit-agent-code
Security-audit an AI agent's OWN framework code for classic appsec vulnerabilities the LLM can't defend — path traversal, command injection, SSRF, fail-open security controls, missing/late auth, unsafe deserialization — especially at the untrusted-input boundaries (channels, file/media handlers, config & skill…
