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 | $0.00048 | $0.00472 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00189 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
issues-agent 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.
What it actually says
Issues agent (MCP)
Backup skill for coding agents. Prefer in-app Conectar agente at /account/settings for paste-ready config.
Auth
| Token | Prefix | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Personal API token (PAT) | iss_pat_… |
Acts as the user |
| Service account token | iss_sat_… |
Member-aligned powers on one project |
Send Authorization: Bearer <token> to Issues /api and to the MCP server (MCP forwards the same header).
Create PAT: Account → Tokens de API / Conectar agente.
Create SA: /projects/:projectId/service-accounts (PM/admin).
MCP tools (issues-mcp)
Separate Quarkus app — see issues-mcp/README.md. Default local URL: http://localhost:8082/mcp.

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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 60 lines · 48 tokens per session scan A b43911da0854
issues-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository vepo/issues (8 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 472 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.

workthreads
SpecStory Workthreads - a weekly work-thread rollup across a team's repos from SpecStory coding histories (any agent - Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, and more). It groups the window's sessions into threads of work per project and labels each new / open / recently closed, so a lead sees what shipped, what is still…
