wait

A command that waits for configured MCP servers to finish connecting and become available. MCP servers are services that provide tools an AI agent can call.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps wait for one server or all matching static servers, set a timeout, select a runtime context, apply filters, and receive the result as text, JSON, or TOON.
Why use it?
It prevents tool calls from being sent while a server is still loading, unavailable, or waiting for authorization. It reports timeouts and failed connection states with recovery information.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

wait 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 2d 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

Wait Command

Wait for enabled configured static MCP servers to become connected and available through the authenticated /api/v1/inspect status contract.

npx -y @1mcp/agent wait [server] [options]

Without a server, wait covers all matching configured static servers. Templates and disabled servers are excluded. A template target returns server_not_load_tracked; an unknown target returns server_not_found.

Options

  • [server] - One configured static server to wait for
  • --timeout <ms> - Positive timeout in milliseconds, default 30000
  • --url, -u <url> - Override the auto-detected runtime URL
  • --context <name> - Use a named Runtime Target Context
  • --preset, --tag-filter, --tags - Apply the same client-facing filters as inspect
  • --format <toon|text|json> - Select success output format

Behavior

Success requires every requested server to report connected and available. failed, cancelled, awaiting_oauth, and unavailable terminal states stop immediately with a structured nonzero error. A timeout includes the last observed states and a recovery command. Waiting never cancels background loading.

Use wait before run when a script must depend on a newly started backend. run also checks inspect status before its REST-to-MCP fallback and returns server_loading with the same recovery command when the backend is still loading.

Changes

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.

wait is a command published in the GitHub repository 1mcp-app/agent (494 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 359 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
