agent-tools AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for Agent Tools, a platform that provides deterministic tools for transforming and inspecting data in formats such as JSON, CSV, PDF, XML, and Excel.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or maintaining Agent Tools, especially when working with its web application, MCP server, or data-transformation packages.
Why use it?
They give developers the project overview, important concepts, and commands needed to install, run, build, and understand the codebase.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

agent-tools 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 3d 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.

Project Overview

Agent Tools is an agent-driven data transformation platform for MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) systems. It provides deterministic tools for transforming, formatting, and inspecting structured data across 18 tool domains: JSON, CSV, PDF, XML, Excel, Image, Markdown, Archive, Regex, Diff, SQL, Crypto, DateTime, Text, Math, Color, Physics, and Structural Engineering. The platform also includes an AI Chat interface that allows users to interact with all tools through natural language via HuggingFace-hosted LLMs.

Philosophy: "LLMs think. Agent Tools executes." - provides the authoritative execution layer for agents requiring strict correctness and repeatability.

Commands

# Development

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.
