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

opentool copilot-instructions.md 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 4d 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.

Copilot Instructions — OpenTool

Project Overview

OpenTool is an open-source, self-hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides 26 tools across 10 providers (GitHub, Gmail, Slack, Notion, Linear, Google Calendar, Stripe, Vercel, Resend, Postgres/Neon). It's the open-source alternative to Arcade.dev and Composio.

Code Rules

  • NEVER commit or push — the maintainer handles that manually.
  • TypeScript strict mode throughout.
  • All tools use Zod schemas for input validation.
  • Monorepo structure: packages/server, packages/cli, packages/sdk, apps/dashboard.

Design Context

Users

Primary audience: Backend and full-stack developers building AI agents who need tool integrations (GitHub, Slack, Gmail, Notion, etc.) without vendor lock-in. They're evaluating OpenTool against Arcade.dev and Composio — they'll pick the one that looks like it was built by someone who actually ships.

Context of use: Developers discover OpenTool from a GitHub README, a tweet, or a search for "open source MCP server." They land on the marketing site to evaluate it, then move to the dashboard to connect tools and manage API keys. They interact with OpenTool primarily through the CLI or SDK — the dashboard is for setup and monitoring.

Job to be done: Wire up third-party APIs (GitHub, Slack, Stripe, etc.) as MCP-compatible tools for their AI agents, without writing OAuth flows, token refresh logic, or API wrappers themselves. Self-hosted, own their data, no recurring SaaS bill.

Brand Personality

Three words: Sharp. Owned. Uncompromising.

Voice: Direct and technical. No filler, no buzzwords, no "supercharge your workflow." Slightly aggressive when calling out bad patterns — this is the tool senior engineers wish existed. Talks to developers as peers, not prospects.

Emotional goals (all four, weighted):

  1. "This is serious infrastructure" — trust, reliability, production-grade (primary)
  2. "This dev gets it" — sharp, opinionated, built by someone who felt the pain
  3. "This is beautiful AND works" — polished craft that signals quality
  4. "Finally, something I can own" — freedom, self-hosted pride

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.
