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.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is AtmaticAI/agent-tools's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agent-tools 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 agent-tools 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

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 2mo 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.

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.
