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 | $0.00102 | $0.01790 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00716 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00358 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00179 |
Grade A, and why
hf-research 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 13d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
HF Research
Overview
Two layers:
scripts/hf_tool.py— a deterministic data-fetch CLI. Everything we reach for during research (Mesh tools, prices, options, earnings, FRED, Exa web) behind one terse, JSON-out interface. Callable directly and by subagents via Bash.- This skill's subagent recipe — how to fan the CLI + Claude-native WebSearch across parallel subagents and synthesize a cited answer.
The CLI exists because raw Mesh calls are error-prone: param names vary (series_key, search_term, symbols), responses are double-enveloped, and price_history silently caps at 250 bars. The CLI handles all of that. Prefer it over hand-writing uv run python -c "from src.clients.mesh import ...".
The data CLI
Run from repo root (no PYTHONPATH needed — the script inserts it). Output is JSON to stdout; add --out FILE to write to a file instead (do this for big price pulls to keep them out of context).
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
hf_tool.py tools [agent] |
list Mesh tool names (agent ∈ yahoo, fred, sec, exa) |
hf_tool.py describe <agent> <tool> |
dump a tool's params, required list, and enum values — do this first instead of guessing param names |
hf_tool.py call <agent> <tool> k=v ... |
invoke any Mesh tool, auto-unwrapped. Values are JSON-coerced; k=a,b → list. Use --json '{...}' for full control |
hf_tool.py prices SYM... [--period 1y| --start --end] [--full] |
daily bars with automatic 250-bar pagination (stitches 6-mo chunks). Default = closes only; --full = OHLCV |
hf_tool.py web "query" [--n 5] |
Exa web search (deterministic) |
# discover, then call — the two-step that avoids param errors
uv run python scripts/hf_tool.py describe fred macro_series_history
uv run python scripts/hf_tool.py call fred macro_series_history series_key=ust_10y view=change limit=60
# prices for a backtest, dumped to a file
uv run python scripts/hf_tool.py prices AAPL MSFT CRM SPY --period 5y --out /tmp/px.json
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.

hf-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository heurist-network/heurist-finance (11 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 1,790 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-10-24.
