Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00016 | $0.00319 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00160 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00064 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
mcp_manager 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 8d 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
mcp_manager
Manage MCP servers.
Operations
mcp.list()— installed servers.mcp.search(capability)— discover matches.mcp.install(pkg_or_url)— install server (Council-gated).mcp.configure(server, config)— edit settings.json entries.mcp.invoke(server, tool, args)— runtime-adapter call.mcp.ping(server)— health.
I/O Contract
io_contract:
input: { op, args }
output: { result }
idempotent: depends
side_effects: [fs, network, state_mutation]
Safety
- Installs are mid-risk minimum (Council).
- Server invocations respect the host's MCP policy and Ciel's permission rules.
- Added servers recorded in
~/.ciel/acquisition/sources.jsonwith trust tracking.
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.

mcp_manager is a skill published in the GitHub repository jxoesneon/Ciel (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 319 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
