What is deep-council?

A coordinator that sends review, audit, research, or brainstorming tasks to several local AI-agent groups and compares their discussions. A council here means a group of agents used to examine the same task.

It is for coordinating multi-agent reviews, audits, research, and design or brainstorming work.

It combines multiple independent investigations and a structured debate, reducing the need to run and compare them manually.

Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.00070	$0.06384
Opus 5.5	$0.00028	$0.02554
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00014	$0.01277
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00638

Measured 2mo ago against content hash 134e8739d32a, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

deep-council 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 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.

Reads MCP configurationlowAgent snooping

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

check_mcp: "cat .mcp.json 2>/dev/null | grep -i codex"

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

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.
