AWS Samples AppMod Blueprints is a platform-engineering solution for modernizing applications and providing developer self-service on Amazon EKS. Organizations use it to explore application blueprints, GitOps workflows, developer portals, and progressive delivery through an associated workshop. The catalogue add-ons expose the repository’s platform-engineering workflows as agent skills and agents.

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 | $0.00155 | $0.02290 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00062 | $0.00916 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00031 | $0.00458 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00229 |
Grade C, and why
eks-upgrade-check scanned grade C 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 2mo 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.
Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation
SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

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.
