mcp-tailscale AGENTS.md

mcp-tailscale AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from aplaceforallmystuff/mcp-tailscale. It costs 442 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a read-only MCP server that manages and monitors a Tailscale tailnet, which is a private network of connected devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when building, compiling, watching, or configuring the server, or when working with tools that list devices, show their status, check updates, and summarize the network.
Why use it?
They explain the required API credentials, development commands, architecture, and the six available device-monitoring tools.

Getting it into your agent

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-tailscale 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 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.

What it actually says

AGENTS.md - mcp-tailscale

MCP server for managing and monitoring a Tailscale network (tailnet). Read-only.

Tech Stack

  • Language: TypeScript
  • Runtime: Node.js (ES modules)
  • Protocol: Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  • Build: TypeScript compiler (tsc)

Architecture

src/
  index.ts          # Server, Tailscale API client, all tool handlers inline

Development Commands

npm run build       # tsc
npm run watch       # tsc --watch

Environment Variables

Variable Required Description
TAILSCALE_API_KEY Yes API key from login.tailscale.com (starts with tskey-api-)
TAILSCALE_TAILNET No Tailnet name (defaults to - for current user)

Tools (6)

tailscale_list_devices, tailscale_get_device, tailscale_list_online_devices, tailscale_list_offline_devices, tailscale_check_updates, tailscale_device_summary

Key Patterns

  • Uses Server class from MCP SDK (low-level API with setRequestHandler)
  • Tools defined inline in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler
  • callTailscaleAPI() helper with Bearer token auth
  • tailscale_get_device searches by ID, name, or hostname
  • tailscale_device_summary aggregates by OS, online/offline, updates
  • TailscaleDevice interface for typed API responses

Constraints

  • Read-only: no device modifications, only queries
  • Exits at startup if TAILSCALE_API_KEY is not set
  • API keys expire (1-90 days configurable at Tailscale)

Pre-Publish

Run /publish-mcp before any npm publish — mandatory pipeline that handles tests, secret scan, sanitize, docs check, version bump, tag, push, and publish in strict order. Do not run npm publish directly.

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.
