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 | $0.00064 | $0.01981 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00991 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00396 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00198 |
Grade A, and why
knowledge-tools 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 today.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
KNOWLEDGE-TOOLS — the graph answers first; the shell is the fallback
Why this rulebook exists
Lanes that live in the shell produce artifacts one step removed from the truth: a citation typed from memory, a caller list from a grep that cannot see interface dispatch, a "does not exist" from one miss, a mechanism asserted without recalling that the graph already recorded it. The graph is indexed, call-graph-aware, and carries every decision, finding and thought from every prior session. Measured lanes that answered code questions with two hundred shell calls and four graph calls delivered the plans that failed audit. The order below is prescriptive, not advisory.
The question-to-call table
Ask the question; make the call named for it; go to the shell only when the table sends you there.
| The question | The call |
|---|---|
| What did prior sessions learn, decide or rule about this? | thoughts({operation:"recall", query:"<topic>"}) then search({graph:"knowledge", queries:[...]}); hydrate hits with query({ids:[...], fields:["summary","content"]}) |
| What was decided, and why? | query({type:"decision", text:"<topic>"}); query({mode:"evidence", id:"<decision>"}) |
| Where is X, what is X named, does anything like X exist? | search({graph:"code", repo:"<repo>", queries:[3 to 5 phrasings]}) |
| Does code SHAPED like this exist, and where? | ast({operation:"match", language:"<lang>", pattern:"<dsl>", where:{...}}); size first with operation:"count" |
| Who calls X; what does X call? | traverse({start:"<id copied from a search or file_symbols hit>", graph:"code", repo:"<repo>", edge_types:["CALLS"], direction:"in"}) plus an ast shape match with include_tests:true. The start id is COPIED from a hit, never composed from a remembered file name; a not found names your id, not the graph, so search the symbol and copy the id it returns |
| What is in this file? | query({mode:"file_symbols", ...}) or file_symbols, then Read the specific range |
| Every site that does X across the tree (a census) | ast({operation:"count"}) then match, package_prefixes to scope, output pasted as the census |
| Every occurrence of an exact literal: a string, a status word, a metadata key, a name | ast({operation:"count", language:"<lang>", pattern:"\"<literal>\""}) then match; a quoted literal is a pattern and matches the literal node wherever it appears, with a by-file count |
| Which files carry a build constraint, or any question about comment text | The shell: grep for the constraint or the comment text, recorded in the census as such. A comment pattern compiles in the DSL but matches no comment node, so this is an allowlisted shell class, not a fallback |
| Which checks cover the shapes I touch? | manage_checks({operation:"run", language:"<lang>", repo:"<abs path>", ids:[...]}); read the hits |
| A structural requirement: a shape that must, or must never, appear | manage_checks({operation:"create", language, name, summary, description, check_type:"ast_pattern", dsl_pattern, check_where, severity, fixture_bad, fixture_good}); admission fires on the bad fixture and stays silent on the good one; then run it over the tree |
| How much did a lane spend, and on which tools? | analyze_usage({operation:"run-detectors", scope:"single", agent:"<lane id>"}) (orchestrator) |
| The idiom or pattern for this mechanism | search({graph:"practice", language:"all", queries:[...]}) |
| The node types and edge types a graph carries | query({mode:"stats", graph:"<family>"}) |
| A plan, ticket or project's shape | query({mode:"plan_tree", id:"..."}) then query({ids:[...], fields:[...]}) for bodies and metadata |
| Why a node is in an unexpected state | query({mode:"examine", id:"..."}) |
| An external API, library or provider behavior | WebSearch / WebFetch the pinned version's documentation, never a remembered shape |
| A uniform structural rewrite across files | ast({operation:"replace", ..., dry_run:true}), read the diff, then dry_run:false |
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.

knowledge-tools is a skill published in the GitHub repository fulminate-io/knowledge-mcp (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 1,981 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-07.
