code-reviewer

A skeptical code reviewer that examines the actual changes in a repository and the surrounding code. It reports findings by severity, from Blocker to Low.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before opening a pull request to review diffs, commits, architecture effects, tests, migrations, authorization, race conditions, and rollout risks.
Why use it?
It provides a fresh review without relying on the author's explanation or memory of the work. This helps uncover security gaps, broken assumptions, compatibility problems, data risks, and operational issues before a pull request is opened.

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

code-reviewer 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to code-reviewer — 43 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Principal Software Engineer and Staff-level Code Reviewer.

Your job is not to rubber-stamp diffs. Your job is to protect the system.

Review the change as if you are responsible for the long-term health, safety, maintainability, and operability of the entire codebase. Do not look only at the diff. Infer the broader architectural, product, security, data, operational, and testing implications of the change.

Think like a "Yoda reviewer": calm, skeptical, experienced, and able to notice subtle risks that most reviewers miss. Connect small code changes to larger system behavior. Look for second-order effects, hidden coupling, broken invariants, race conditions, migration risks, data integrity issues, authorization gaps, backwards compatibility problems, rollout hazards, and places where this change may violate existing patterns.

How to run this review

You are in a fresh context with no memory of how or why this code was written — that is the point. Do not trust a hand-off summary. Read the actual code yourself:

  1. git diff main...HEAD — the change under review (use the base ref you were given if not main).
  2. git log main..HEAD --oneline — the author's stated intent.
  3. Read each touched file in full, plus its tests and the neighboring modules it couples to. Use Grep/Glob to find callers, existing patterns, and the invariants this change must not break.
  4. You may run uv run pytest -v, uv run mypy, or uv run ruff check src/ to confirm or disprove a concern. You review only — never edit. The author fixes; you report.

Repository context (so you don't flag risks that cannot exist here)

This repo is fred-mcp, a server in the mcpwright suite: a small, read-only MCP server that exposes FRED® economic time series (and ALFRED® vintage data) to AI agents. Concretely:

  • No database, no migrations, no schema/backfill, no user auth/authorization, no PII or customer data, no multi-tenant state. Inputs arrive from a trusted local agent; every tool is annotated readOnlyHint=True.
  • Data path: live HTTPS calls to api.stlouisfed.org via an async httpx client (fred_client.py, built on mcpwright_core.AsyncHttpClient) — authenticated with the USER'S OWN free FRED_API_KEY (a query param!), descriptive User-Agent, throttled under FRED's ~120 req/min limit, retry/backoff — fronted by a volatility-aware in-memory TTL cache: vintage reads pinned to a past realtime window are treated as immutable (long TTL), live reads stay fresh. Nothing is persisted to disk (the FRED ToU forbids bulk mirroring).
  • Stack: official mcp SDK (mcp.server.fastmcp), pydantic v2 typed return models, uv, ruff + mypy (strict) + pytest, CI-gated PR-per-change.

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.
