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 | $0.00000 | $0.01421 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00711 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00284 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00142 |
Grade C, and why
aether-linux-mcp scanned grade C with 2 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 yesterday.
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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

AETHER_02 — Full-Spectrum Linux MCP Server
12 tools. 3 prompts. 20 resources. 99.9% Linux coverage. Zero compromises.
AETHER_02 gives AI assistants full control over Linux via standard input/output. From process management to GUI automation, from kernel security audit to hardware control. Separate repository from AETHER_01 (Windows). Same philosophy, different OS.

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.

aether-linux-mcp is a skill published in the GitHub repository foursecondfivefour/aether-linux-mcp-server (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,421 tokens. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
