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 | $0.00089 | $0.00937 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00468 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00187 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00094 |
Grade A, and why
config-error-handling 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 2d 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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Config Error Handling
Two failure phases, two reporting paths
Membrane config errors surface differently depending on when they're thrown, and that's the first thing to get right.
Setter-time — inside an @MCAttribute/@MCChildElement setter, during YAML property binding
(annot/.../yaml/parsing/binding/PropertyBinder.java, populate()). That catch (Throwable cause)
re-wraps into new ConfigurationParsingException(cause.getMessage()) and attaches a
ParsingContext (source location), so RouterCLI renders a highlighted > YAML snippet pointing
at the offending line. Mind the message: reflection wraps a setter's own exception in
InvocationTargetException, and PropertyBinder does not unwrap it, so the message it copies is
the wrapper's (null) — the real text sits in cause.getCause().getMessage(). The
@MCElement(collapsed=true) scalar path in ObjectBinder does unwrap (e.getTargetException()).
Example: WsuTimestampInterceptor.setTtl (core/.../soap/wsse/WsuTimestampInterceptor.java)
catches DateTimeParseException from Duration.parse and rethrows a ConfigurationException
with a concrete valid-example ("PT5M").
Init-time — inside interceptor.init(Router), reached via DefaultRouter.init() →
AbstractRouter.initProxies() → proxy.init(this), i.e. after all YAML parsing has finished.
The YAML bootstrap does carry a ParsingContext into the bean registry, but nothing on this
initProxies() path passes it on, so an interceptor's init() has no source location to report —
not fixable per-interceptor without a cross-cutting change to plumb it through Router/interceptor
init.
ConfigurationException thrown here is caught by
SpringConfigurationErrorHandler.handleConfigurationException
(core/.../exceptions/SpringConfigurationErrorHandler.java:128), which prints a plain
"************** Configuration Error ***..." / "Reason: <cause message>" block — no YAML
snippet. This is the existing, accepted behavior for every interceptor's init()-time checks
(missing keystore, bad key alias, unsupported algorithm, ...), not a bug to chase per class.
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.

config-error-handling is a skill published in the GitHub repository membrane/api-gateway (641 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 937 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-05.
