briefing

briefing is a command for Claude Code from feednest-app/mcp. It costs 14 tokens per session (415 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that creates a short briefing from unread articles in your FeedNest news feeds, grouping related stories by topic. FeedNest is a service for collecting news from sources you follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review new stories, spot repeated coverage, and continue through older results when the first batch is incomplete.
Why use it?
It avoids checking many feeds and articles one by one. It also keeps the briefing limited to FeedNest results instead of searching the wider web.

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

briefing 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 today.

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

Give me a briefing of what's new in my FeedNest feeds. $ARGUMENTS

Use only the FeedNest tools and the articles they return, never the open web.

  1. Call get_articles once with view: "newsfeed", unread_only: true and limit: 100.
    • If I named a folder, find its ID with get_folders and use view: "by-folder" with folder_id.
    • If I named a topic, pass it as query.
    • Use date_from and date_to only if I asked for a time span. They need the Pro plan: if the tool says my plan does not include them, carry on without them.
  2. Build the briefing from each article's title, source and summary_preview. Do not open the articles one by one: on the Free plan FeedNest allows 20 tool calls an hour, so a briefing should take one or two calls.
  3. Group the stories into at most seven topics, the most important first. Under each topic, give one line per story: the title, the source in brackets, and what is new in a few words. Say when several of my sources cover the same story.
  4. If you got 100 articles, there may be more: say so, and offer to continue with the next page (before_published_at and before_id of the last article).
  5. End by offering to read any story in full, or to mark the articles you covered as read. Ask before marking anything as read.

If nothing is unread, say so and offer the latest articles instead. If FeedNest says I follow no sources yet, point me to feednest.com to add some.

Write the briefing in the language I have been using in this conversation, or in English if there is none.

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.
