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 | $0.00049 | $0.00786 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00314 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00157 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00079 |
Grade A, and why
add-mcp-tool 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 1mo 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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Add MCP Tool
Scaffold a new tool handler that conforms to the project's handler signature
(func (h *Handlers) HandleXxx(ctx, req, args XxxArgs)) and safety conventions.
Arguments
Parse $ARGUMENTS:
$1— snake_case tool name (required). Must start withtalos_(e.g.talos_drain_node).$2— category, one ofmutating|read(defaultread).
Derive {{ToolName}} = PascalCase of $1 with the talos_ prefix stripped
(e.g. talos_drain_node → DrainNode).
If any required argument is missing, ask the user once for the missing value, then proceed non-interactively.
Key Steps
-
Validate name. Reject if
$1does not match^talos_[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$. -
Collision check. Use Glob to confirm
internal/tools/<name>.godoes not exist. If it does, stop and report — do not overwrite. -
Generate handler. Render
references/handler-template.go.tmplwith{{ToolName}},{{tool_name}},{{category}}substituted. Write tointernal/tools/<name>.go. -
Apply safety defaults. For
mutating, inlineconfirm boolandnodes []stringon{{ToolName}}Args; setdry_run/preserve/gracefuldefaults fromreferences/safety-defaults.md. -
Register the tool. Grep for
mcp.AddToolininternal/tools/to locate the registration site. Add the new entry in alphabetical order:mcp.AddTool(server, &mcp.Tool{Name: "{{tool_name}}"}, h.Handle{{ToolName}}) -
Generate test stub. Write
internal/tools/<name>_test.gowith one happy-path test and (formutating) a guards-enforcement test. -
Format. Run
gofmt -w internal/tools/<name>.go internal/tools/<name>_test.go. -
Update inventory. Edit the tool-inventory tables in
AGENTS.mdandREADME.md. Preserve alphabetical order.
Output
On success, print:
Created: internal/tools/<name>.go
internal/tools/<name>_test.go
Modified: <registration-file>
AGENTS.md (tool inventory)
README.md (tool inventory)
Next: make check
invoke staff-reviewer → .claude/reviews/<change-id>/review.md
commit → feat(tools): add <tool_name> handler [review:<change-id>]
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

add-mcp-tool is a skill published in the GitHub repository Nosmoht/talos-mcp-server (4 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 786 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
