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 | $0.00041 | $0.01417 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00709 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00283 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00142 |
Grade B, and why
handle-the-host scanned grade B 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 13d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Handle the Host — Remote Operations Guide
Overview
Tentaflake deploys NixOS with Tailscale pre-configured. Every target machine must join your tailnet. You connect, inspect, rebuild, and debug entirely through Tailscale SSH — no open ports, no public IP required.
How to Connect
tailscale ssh <user>@<hostname>
Replace <user> with the admin username set during installation (default: user). Replace <hostname> with the hostname chosen during installation.
Note:
tailscale sshdoes not support the-tflag. For commands requiring a pseudo-TTY (e.g.,sudoprompts), use raw SSH through Tailscale instead:ssh -t <user>@<hostname> "sudo <command>"
First Connection Checklist
-
Verify Tailscale status on the target:
tailscale ssh <user>@<hostname> tailscale status -
Check that agent containers are running (covers every agent runtime — Hermes and ZeroClaw):
tentaflake status # or, raw: docker ps -
Inspect NixOS config (always in
/etc/nixos/):ls /etc/nixos/
Common Operations
Rebuild the System
cd /etc/nixos
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<hostname>
Or use the rebuild alias if configured:
rebuild
Rollback
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --rollback
Inspect System State
# Nix store usage
sudo nix store gc --print-dead
# Running services
systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running
# Journal logs for a specific agent (any runtime)
tentaflake logs <agent-name>
Container Operations
Prefer the tentaflake host CLI — it drives every declared agent regardless
of runtime, so you never have to hardcode a container or unit name:
tentaflake status # all agents, every runtime, with state
tentaflake restart <agent-name>
tentaflake logs <agent-name> # -f-style follow via journalctl
tentaflake shell <agent-name> # interactive shell inside the container
tentaflake ps # raw docker/podman ps for agent containers
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.

handle-the-host is a skill published in the GitHub repository timfewi/tentaflake (30 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,417 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
