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 | $0.00026 | $0.01200 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00480 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00240 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00120 |
Grade A, and why
observability 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 Works
All runtime metrics flow through the structured event system (events.jsonl). Every trading event, LLM call, and error is emitted as a typed Pydantic model via emit_event() and written as JSON lines to logs/events.jsonl by the FileEventHandler.
The metrics summary script reads this structured data directly — no regex parsing of free-text logs.
Running the Metrics Summary
python scripts/agent_metrics_summary.py
This outputs structured JSON with:
- LLM metrics: Call count, latency, token usage, cost per agent
- Trade metrics: Fills, rejects, entries, exits, PnL
- Error metrics: Error rates by type and component
- Scan metrics: Scanner activity by source
- Last run info: Timestamp, duration, cycle count

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.

observability is a skill published in the GitHub repository kimrejstrom/alpacalyzer-algo-trader (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 1,200 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
