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 | $0.00018 | $0.00429 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00215 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00086 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00043 |
Grade A, and why
awslabs-nova-canvas-mcp 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 9d 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
AWS Labs Nova Canvas
AI image generation using Amazon Nova Canvas.
When to use
- Use AWS Labs Nova Canvas only when the task directly involves the relevant service, SaaS product, platform, or technology.
Connection
Docker stdio
{
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"-e",
"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY",
"-e",
"AWS_SESSION_TOKEN",
"mcp/nova-canvas-mcp-server"
]
}
MCP instructions
- Use the MCP tools only for the user-requested service workflow and prefer read-only operations by default.
- Confirm the target account, workspace, project, repository, or dataset before actions that can read private data or mutate remote state.
- This server requires authorization or environment-provided credentials; ask the user before connecting or requesting access.
Docker launch notes
- Launch through Docker stdio with
docker run --rm -i -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -e AWS_SESSION_TOKEN mcp/nova-canvas-mcp-server. - Confirm required environment variables before launch: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN.

What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
