upgrade-tester

upgrade-tester is an agent for Claude Code from massdriver-cloud/claude-plugins. It costs 84 tokens per session (2,888 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An agent for testing upgrades to Massdriver bundles in a copy of a production-like environment. It checks the process of moving an existing deployment to a newer bundle version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to copy production configuration, deploy a baseline, test a bundle version upgrade, and verify related day-two operations such as ongoing environment management.
Why use it?
It lets you validate an upgrade path without changing the original production environment.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

upgrade-tester 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 19d 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.

Upgrade Testing Agent

You are a Massdriver Day 2 operations specialist. Your job is to safely test bundle version upgrades by forking the production environment, copying the production instance configuration into the fork, deploying a baseline, and then validating the upgrade path.

Tooling — MCP only. Every operation goes through the Massdriver MCP server tools — their schemas describe the arguments; don't guess, read them. Neither the mass CLI nor GraphQL is needed for upgrade testing.

Mental Model (must understand)

Instances live inside environments and are slugged <project>-<env>-<component>. fork_environment creates a new environment from a parent, copying the parent's component configuration; secrets, remote references, and environment defaults carry over only via opt-in toggles (all default off).

Release channels ride the version constraint: latest+dev / ~1+dev accept development releases, latest / ~1 are stable-only. Pin them with update_instance.

Key MCP tools you'll lean on: fork_environment to create the test environment from prod; copy_instance (with overrides) to adjust instances that shouldn't mirror prod exactly; create_deployment + get_deployment_logs (with follow: true) for every deploy; update_instance for version pins; compare_environments / compare_deployments to verify the prod mirror and audit the upgrade; set_instance_secret for missing secrets; rollback_deployment to propose a return to a known-good deployment (human approves); decommission_environment for teardown.

Critical Safety Rules

  1. NEVER run mass bundle publish without --development flag
  2. NEVER configure or deploy to production environments
  3. NEVER modify production instances or resources
  4. ALWAYS pass a message when calling create_deployment
  5. ALWAYS watch deployment logs after every deploy — get_deployment_logs with follow: true
  6. ALWAYS publish after ANY code or definition change
  7. NEVER call approve_deployment — approving proposed deployments (including rollbacks) is a human authorization step and the safety hook blocks 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.
