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 | $0.00122 | $0.02049 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00061 | $0.01025 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00410 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00205 |
Grade A, and why
searching-zap-rag 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 11d 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 — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Searching ZAP RAG (MCP)
Read-only. ZAP tools always come first. Do not invent paths or APIs.
STRICT tool priority (mandatory — never reorder)
When ZAP MCP tools from server zap-rag are available, you MUST follow this ladder. Skipping a tier is a policy violation.
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ TIER 1 — ZAP MCP ONLY (use first, exhaust before anything else) ║

╠══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ TIER 3 — AGENT OWN CAPABILITIES (last resort only) ║
║ Memory, prior-chat guesses, ad-hoc shell grep, web search, ║

╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
MUST
- Call
zap_rag_searchbefore any Tier 2 or Tier 3 tool on codebase questions - Stay inside Tier 1 until RAG modes are tried and, for structural questions, relevant PSI tools are tried
- Cite only paths/lines from tool results
- Prefer
zap_find_usages/zap_call_hierarchyover host “find references” when ZAP is up
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.

searching-zap-rag is a skill published in the GitHub repository RaviTeja-438/zap-rag-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 122 tokens to every session and 2,049 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-09-01.
