mcp-server-fuzzer: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mcp-server-fuzzer AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Agent-Hellboy/mcp-server-fuzzer. It costs 1,403 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project guide for coding agents working on an MCP server, including rules for branches, commits, linting, tests, and the tox tool used to manage Python environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating feature branches, writing commit messages, running Ruff lint checks, running unit tests, and using the project's tox environment for commands and scripts.
Why use it?
It gives agents consistent project rules and helps prevent changes from being made on the main branch or committed without checks.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is Agent-Hellboy/mcp-server-fuzzer's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mcp-server-fuzzer itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-server-fuzzer configures →

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to Agent-Hellboy/mcp-server-fuzzer. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

mcp-server-fuzzer AGENTS.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 1mo 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.

AI Agent Instructions

Branch Creation

Always create a feature branch before making any code changes:

git checkout main
git pull origin main
git checkout -b <descriptive-branch-name>

Name the branch after the feature or fix, for example:

  • oauth-client-credentials-auth
  • git-branch-isolation
  • fix-batch-auth-bypass

Never commit directly to main.

Commit Message Style

Follow the project's short imperative style — no trailing period:

Add <feature>
Fix <bug>
Refactor <component>
Update <thing>
Remove <thing>

Examples from this repo:

  • Add OAuth client credentials auth
  • Add git branch isolation for AI agents
  • Fix batch JSON-RPC auth bypass in test server
  • Refine reporting boundaries and result contracts

Lint and Tests

Run before every commit:

tox -e ruff                  # lint
tox -e tests -- <test paths> # unit tests

tox venv setup

tox creates a managed venv at .tox/tests/. Use its Python for anything that needs project dependencies (running the server, the CLI, ad-hoc scripts):

# First run: tox creates the venv automatically
tox -e tests -- tests/unit/

# Use the tox Python directly for scripts / servers / CLI
.tox/tests/bin/python examples/test_server.py
.tox/tests/bin/python -m mcp_fuzzer --help

# Install extra deps into the tox venv (e.g. server deps)
.tox/tests/bin/pip install uvicorn mcp anyio starlette

Never use the system python3 or pip3 for project code — the repo uses a managed environment and the system Python may lack required packages or be protected by PEP 668.

Codebase Exploration — Use Graphify First

A knowledge graph of this repo lives in graphify-out/. Before exploring the code manually, query the graph:

# Ask anything about structure, coverage, relationships
graphify query "how does X work"
graphify query "what calls Y"
graphify path "AuthModule" "Database"
graphify explain "OAuthClientCredentialsAuth"

Graphify is faster than grepping and surfaces cross-file relationships the raw code doesn't make obvious. Only fall back to grep/Read when the graph answer is insufficient.

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.
