Aspose.Words-MCP: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

Aspose.Words-MCP AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from aspose-words/Aspose.Words-MCP. It costs 792 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for updating Aspose.Words-MCP, a server that uses Aspose.Words to work with Word documents through an MCP interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying this repository, especially when calling Aspose.Words APIs or handling related errors.
Why use it?
They keep changes consistent with the project and make incorrect library usage visible instead of hiding it with fallback code.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is aspose-words/Aspose.Words-MCP's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on Aspose.Words-MCP 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 Aspose.Words-MCP configures →

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

Aspose.Words-MCP 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 7d 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.

Purpose

This repository is updated by coding agents during Aspose.Words release alignment work.
When making changes, preserve the existing repository structure, conventions, and architectural patterns.

Required implementation rules

1. Use explicit API only

Do not use getattr() or hasattr() for Aspose.Words API access.

All Aspose.Words API used by the MCP server must be referenced explicitly and directly.
If the server is being updated for a target Aspose.Words release, assume that the target API is the intended and supported API surface.

Do not add dynamic attribute checks to support old or uncertain API shapes.
Do not add compatibility shims based on getattr(), hasattr(), or similar reflective fallbacks.

2. Do not hide library usage errors

Do not use try/except to hide, suppress, or silently bypass incorrect Aspose.Words API usage.

If the MCP server uses the library incorrectly, that failure must remain visible during development and testing.
Do not catch exceptions only to continue execution with fallback behavior, partial behavior, or silent degradation.

Allowed exception handling is narrow and explicit only when it is required for:

  • test assertions,
  • user-input validation,
  • external I/O boundaries,
  • conversion of an error into a clearer MCP-facing error when the underlying failure remains explicit and testable.

Do not wrap Aspose.Words API calls in broad try/except blocks for defensive compatibility.

3. Tests must be updated with server changes

Any change to MCP server code must be accompanied by the necessary test updates.

If server behavior changes, tool coverage changes, tool parameters change, schemas change, manifests change, descriptions change, or new functionality is exposed, update existing tests and add new tests where required.

Do not leave server changes without corresponding test coverage adjustments.

4. Server versioning

The MCP server version must match the version of the Aspose.Words library it is aligned with. When updating the server for a new Aspose.Words release, ensure that the version in pyproject.toml (and any other version-tracking files) is updated to match the target library version.

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.
