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 | $0.00059 | $0.03626 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.01450 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00725 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00363 |
Grade A, and why
baseten 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 4d 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.

Baseten Product Overview
Production AI inference platform - serve and scale open-source, custom, and fine-tuned models with the fastest runtimes, cross-cloud HA, and seamless developer workflows.
- Dedicated Inference - deploy any model, performance-optimized + horizontally scaled. Authored as auto-wrapped Truss server, custom Docker server, or compound/orchestrated deployment via Chains.
- Model APIs - pre-optimized hosted APIs for popular models. Path to graduate to dedicated.
- Training - two paths, both driven by
baseten train/baseten loops: Truss Train (BYO container, any framework, full hardware control) and Loops (Tinker-compatible managed SDK for SFT + async RL; paired trainer + sampling server, live weight transfers, one-click checkpoint deploy). Multi-node, 1T+ params, 10TB+ datasets, H100/H200/B200. Remote access: SSH and VS Code/Cursor tunnels into containers. - Frontier Gateway - operate your own foundation model B2C.
Agent DX Toolkit
| Component | Provides | Install |
|---|---|---|
baseten CLI |
Deploy and operate models (baseten model push, --watch for the dev loop), workspace management, Model APIs, training and Loops. Headless-safe: never prompts off a TTY; --output json / --jq for automation. |
See references/baseten-cli.md |
baseten MCP |
Interact with backend (~REST API, CRUD): models, deployments, training, environments, secrets, chains, Loops lifecycle (runs, checkpoints, checkpoint deploys). OAuth sign-in; API-key auth for headless clients. | npx add-mcp https://api.baseten.co/mcp -g -y |
baseten_docs MCP |
Semantic search + filesystem of docs.baseten.co. No auth. |
npx add-mcp https://docs.baseten.co/mcp -n "baseten_docs" -g -y |
truss CLI |
Chains authoring (truss chains) plus Truss config tooling for existing truss projects. Training and Loops are Baseten CLI commands (baseten train / baseten loops). |
uv tool install truss (or pip install truss --upgrade; respect user package manager: uv, poetry...) |

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.

baseten is a skill published in the GitHub repository basetenlabs/baseten-skills (14 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 3,626 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
