Monty is a minimal Python interpreter written in Rust that runs AI-generated code in a restricted environment without direct filesystem, environment-variable, or network access. It is for AI agents that need to execute Python and type-checking tasks while allowing developers to control which host functions and objects the code can use, and the catalogue entries integrate it into agent workflows.

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 | $0.00043 | $0.00471 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00235 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
review-verbosity 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 5d 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.
What it actually says
Verbosity review
New comments and docstrings are usually too verbose. Rewrite them concisely. This skill edits — it doesn't just report.
git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD # which crates changed
git diff origin/main...HEAD
Dispatch one sub-agent per changed area — a crate, or any other group of changed files,
so nothing outside crates/ is missed — then review their edits yourself. A single pass
over a large diff won't be exhaustive. In every comment the branch touched:
- Cut it down. Comments and field docstrings rarely over 3 lines, mostly 1; function and struct docstrings <= 5.
- Delete tautology — restating what the code plainly says earns nothing.
- Delete narration of the obvious, restated type signatures, how the code came to be, hedging.
- Keep the motivation — why the code exists and its foot-guns are the valuable part. Don't cut real information to hit a line count.
- Drop over-long examples. Public items only, <= 8 lines, and every one must run in
tests — never
ignore. - Fix what's out of date. A comment the branch made wrong gets corrected, not left.
Python docstrings are markdown: single backticks, never RST double-backticks.
Only touch what this branch added or changed, unless asked for a wider sweep. Don't change behaviour — if a comment is wrong because the code is wrong, say so rather than rewording it to match. Concision, not terseness: an unfollowable comment is worse than a long one.
make format-rs && make lint-rs
git diff --stat # format-rs is `cargo +nightly fmt --all` — check it touched only your files
Then report what you cut, by file, in a couple of lines — not a full inventory.
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.

review-verbosity is a skill published in the GitHub repository pydantic/monty (8,193 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 471 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
