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 | $0.00052 | $0.03900 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01950 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00780 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00390 |
Grade A, and why
gallica-search 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 12d 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Gallica
The digital library of the BnF: French newspapers, periodicals, books and manuscripts. It also holds some English-language titles, such as the Paris edition of the New York Herald. Use it for European press reports about performers who travelled in Continental Europe.
Commands
gallica search "<query>" [--pages N|N-M|all] [--sort ORDER] [filters] [--json]
gallica snippets <ark> "<query>" # where the query appears inside one document
gallica get <ark> [--pages 30-35] # download OCR text, prints path to the cached file
Note that --pages has a different meaning on each command. On search it means the result pages. On get it means the document pages.
The filters for search are --creator NAME (repeatable), --type TYPE (repeatable, from monographie, périodique, fascicule, manuscrit, image, carte, partition), --from-year, --to-year, --language CODE (ISO 639-2: fre, eng, ger…), --title TEXT, --subject HEADING, --publisher NAME, --library NAME, --min-ocr-quality SCORE, --include-restricted and --fuzzy.
--sort takes relevance (default), date_asc or date_desc.
A search gives no snippets. This is the important difference in the procedure. search gives you documents. Then snippets tells you if a document has value. Only then does get download it. If you go directly from search to get, you spend a large download on documents that hold one brief mention.
snippets marks the matched terms with {braces} and gives a page identifier such as PAG_30 for each occurrence. Its snippets hold one or two sentences of real context, not a few words. Thus they are frequently enough to judge a document and to quote it in a report with no download.
These page identifiers go directly into get. Gallica sends the OCR one page for each request, so get takes a page range, and --pages accepts the PAG_30 form exactly:
gallica snippets ark:/12148/bd6t5841739g "prestidigitateur" # → occurrences on PAG_3, PAG_4
gallica get ark:/12148/bd6t5841739g --pages PAG_3-PAG_4 # → two requests, not sixteen
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.

gallica-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository nestordemeure/gallica-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 3,900 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
