Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

haiku-version 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 5d 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

Version

Call the haiku_version_info tool to retrieve version information.

Display:

  • MCP version — the version baked into the running binary at build time (or dev when the binary wasn't built)
  • Plugin version — the version from plugin.json on disk
  • Build kind — whether the running engine is the compiled production bundle (plugin/bin/haiku.mjs) or a dev process loading TypeScript directly via bun/tsx. The two can disagree with the plugin version if the dev tree has uncommitted or unbuilt changes
  • Runtimenode <version> (or bun <version> etc.) — useful when triaging "why does my behavior differ from the docs"
  • Entry — the actual file the runtime launched with (process.argv[1]). For prod this points at the bundle; for dev it points at the source file

If a pending update is reported, mention it to the user.

When build_kind is dev, also call out that any working-tree edits to packages/haiku/src/** are live — no rebuild needed. For prod, a rebuild (bun run --cwd packages/haiku build) is required for source edits to take effect.

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.
