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 | $0.00046 | $0.00595 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00238 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00119 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
freshness-check 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
Your PoE training knowledge has a model-specific cutoff and the game changes every league, so the biggest risk is an unknown unknown: confidently asserting a mechanic that changed or didn't exist yet.
- Read
reference_data/freshness_index.mdand follow its "How to use it" procedure:- Identify the running model (
mcp__pob__get_context_usagereports the model ID). - Look up that model's training cutoff in the index's model table.
- Treat anything in the index newer than the running model's cutoff as must-verify — use the entry's
"Where / verify via" pointer (a cached file, a memory, or a fresh
fetch_wiki_page/ live PoB call).
- Identify the running model (
- If the mechanic/item isn't in the index but is plausibly recent (current or last few leagues), verify it anyway and add a row to the index so the next session is covered.
- Scope filter (compartmentalization). Also consult the mechanic-keyed companion
reference_data/mechanics_index.mdfor each mechanic's current scope (core/challenge-league/event-only/removed/disabled-this-league/nerfed). When the task concerns a specific character, first establish its context (league/realm, and whether it's an event character — seeplaybooks/README.md§2c), then only apply mechanics whose scope includes that context. A Mirage-only or event-only mechanic must not be recommended for a Standard / next-league / non-event character; a removed or disabled-this-league one isn't present at all. This stops league/event data bleeding into the wrong build. - This is most load-bearing when asserting how a mechanic works or evaluating a unique/node/item's
current stats — not every step of a task. Per
CLAUDE.md, defer to live tool data over memory when they conflict.
Do not duplicate the index content here — the index is the single source of truth and is maintained per league.
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.

freshness-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository charleslucas/poe_mcp_suite (10 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 595 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
