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 | $0.00024 | $0.01062 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00425 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00212 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00106 |
Grade A, and why
hil-validation 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.

Hardware-in-the-loop validation
Use this skill when
Use this skill when:
- making claims about real StudioLive hardware
- validating firmware-specific behavior
- promoting
implemented-unverified,inferred, orprobe-requiredcapability toverified - adding or changing
*.hil.test.ts - changing probe CLI behavior
- validating routing, Fat Channel parameter mapping, meters, discovery, scenes, or write tools
- updating hardware support tables
Goal
Ensure that hardware claims are supported by repeatable evidence. Unit tests and fixtures are useful but do not prove hardware compatibility across mixer models or firmware versions.
Evidence levels
| Level | Meaning | May support README hardware claim? |
|---|---|---|
static-code |
Code inspection only | No |
unit-test |
Pure test without mixer | No, except internal logic |
fixture-replay |
Replay of prior captured mixer state | Partial, if capture metadata exists |
manual-probe |
Operator command/output saved | Yes, limited to tested model/firmware |
automated-hil |
Repeatable HIL test against real mixer | Yes, strongest |
live-show |
Used during real soundcheck/show with notes | Yes, but must still state scope |
Required capture metadata
Every hardware capture or HIL result must record:
mixerModel: "StudioLive 32SC"
firmware: "3.3.0.109659"
serialRedacted: true
connection: "LAN TCP 53000"
serverCommit: "<git-sha>"
nodeVersion: "<node-version>"
pnpmVersion: "<pnpm-version>"
command: "pnpm probe:dev dump-state -d <ip>"
capturedAt: "<ISO-8601>"
operator: "<initials or omitted>"
purpose: "routing probe / Fat Channel probe / discovery / meter validation"
limitations:
- "Single mixer model only"
- "No 32R stagebox connected"
Do not commit private IP addresses, serial numbers, venue names, personal names, or show-specific confidential data unless explicitly intended.
Procedure
- Define the claim to validate.
- Example: “AUX 1 send levels can be extracted for line channels.”
- Example: “Output patch source index is observable but source name is not yet mapped.”
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.

hil-validation is a skill published in the GitHub repository zarfld/presonus-studiolive-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,062 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
