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 | $0.00211 | $0.02270 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00084 | $0.00908 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00454 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00227 |
Grade A, and why
tc-hardware 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 2mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Hardware diagnostics, symbol I/O, and I/O authoring
Three distinct lanes, each with a different transport and precondition. Pick the lane that matches the request before calling anything.
| Lane | Tools | Transport / precondition |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostics (read-only) | ListEtherCatMasters, GetEtherCatStatus, GetIpcHardware, ListAxes, GetAxisState |
ADS to a running target by AMS Net ID. No XAE. |
| Symbol I/O | ReadSymbols, WriteSymbols, InvokeRpc |
ADS to a target in Run mode by AMS Net ID. No XAE. |
| I/O authoring (COM) | ScanHardware, ScaffoldHardwareCode, AddEtherCatMaster, AddEtherCatBox, DeleteIoDevice |
XAE open with a solution loaded (the writer constraint). Reads/edits the configured project, not the physical bus. |
Where targetAmsId comes from
The diagnostics and symbol-I/O tools take targetAmsId (the target's AMS Net ID). If you don't have it, ask the user — it's the same target you'd deploy to. Don't guess or hunt the filesystem.
Diagnostics (read-only — no confirmation needed)
ListEtherCatMasters(targetAmsId)— enumerate masters (most systems have one). Use the returned NetId asmasterNetIdfor the next call.GetEtherCatStatus(targetAmsId, masterNetId="")— master diagnostic flags plus the slave table (state machine, identity, link health, per-port CRC counters).masterNetIddefaults totargetAmsId(the usual single-master layout).GetIpcHardware(targetAmsId)— TwinCAT version, CPU (temperature / usage / frequency), memory, fans, network adapters, UPS. Modules not present come back null/empty — report that, don't infer failure.ListAxes(targetAmsId)/GetAxisState(targetAmsId, axisId)— NC axis state (name, error code, position, velocity, lag error, derived state name).ListAxesis empty when no NC axes are configured.
These read live state and never change anything; call them directly and report with the fields that answer the question.
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.

tc-hardware is a skill published in the GitHub repository georgeturneruk/tckit (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 211 tokens to every session and 2,270 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
