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 | $0.00753 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00377 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00151 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00075 |
Grade A, and why
validate-new-api-routes scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
When you add new API or server routes, add both manual validation (docs + curl) and an automated check, wire the check into the existing suite, and **run** that verification and report the result before marking the task The source is not reproduced here
No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
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.

validate-new-api-routes is a skill published in the GitHub repository hutchic/.cursor (10 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 753 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

endpoint-probe
Probes each major Agent Monitor API route — /api/stats, /api/analytics, /api/sessions, /api/pricing/cost, /api/workflows/runs, /api/cc-config/overview — and reports each one's HTTP status, latency, and response shape, flagging which are reachable.
