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 | $0.00033 | $0.04872 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.02436 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00974 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00487 |
Grade C, and why
tachyon-mcp scanned grade C 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 yesterday.
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.
Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection
Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Tachyon MCP Server Skill️
Make Java 21+ MCP server. Tachyon lib. Transport = Streamable HTTP (Netty).
Dependency
Import tachyon-bom once, then add modules with no <version>:
<dependencyManagement>

<groupId>dev.tachyonmcp</groupId>
<artifactId>tachyon-bom</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-beta.25</version> <!-- get latest version from Maven Central -->

Core
TachyonServer.builder()→ServerBuilder. Start here..build()(only terminal method) →TachyonServer(AutoCloseable), no transport bound yet.TachyonServer.start()(blocking) → binds the Netty transport.TachyonServer:.tools(),.resources(),.prompts(),.tasks(),.completions()first; then.start(),.port()(throws before.start()),.close(),.config().- Dynamic registration:
.tools().register(...),.resources().register(...),.prompts().register(...),.completions().registerForPrompt(...)/.registerForResource(...)— all work before or after.start(). - Every function gets
dev.tachyonmcp.api.runtime.InteractionContext→ protocol + optional session + notifications. - ⚡ Virtual threads: All synchronous functions (
ToolFn,ResourceFn,PromptFn,CompletionFn) run on a virtual thread per request. Blocking for I/O is fine — never usesynchronized(pins carrier thread). UseReentrantLockinstead.
Quickstart
var server = TachyonServer.builder()
.info(b -> b.name("my-server").version("1.0"))
.port(8080)
.build();
server.start();
// server.port() → real bound port (matters when port=0); throws before start()

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.

tachyon-mcp is a skill published in the GitHub repository kpavlov/tachyon (30 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 4,872 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

tsp-type-override
Override TypeSpec types with Java-native types (e.g. OffsetDateTime, DayOfWeek) using @@alternateType in a client.java.tsp file. Use when a TypeSpec model field has an incorrect or too-generic type that should map to a specific Java type.
tsp-naming-collision

dup-classes
Verify whether generated Java classes duplicate openai-java models by comparing fields/types (names may differ). Use when checking for duplicate model coverage.
ax-java-gen
Use when writing Java code with dev.axllm:ax for AxGen programs, forward calls, indexed multi-sampling, result pickers, streaming, tools, assertions, traces, usage, and output parsing.
