deadline-cloud AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for coding agents working on a Python library and command-line tool that connects to AWS Deadline Cloud, a service for sending and managing media-rendering jobs in the cloud.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing the AWS Deadline Cloud client, its command-line or graphical interfaces, file-transfer features, tests, or build setup.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project layout, required commands, and development rules so it can make changes and run checks correctly.

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

deadline-cloud AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

AGENTS.md - AWS Deadline Cloud Client

This document provides guidance for AI agents working with this codebase.

Project Overview

AWS Deadline Cloud client is a Python library and CLI tool for interacting with AWS Deadline Cloud. It supports job submission, file transfer via job attachments, and provides both CLI and GUI interfaces.

Package name: deadline Platforms: Linux, Windows, macOS

Key Commands

Always use hatch for running builds, tests, formatting, and linting. If running just a few tests, always add --numprocesses=1 to the hatch run test command so that it starts quicker.

# Development
hatch build              # Build wheel/sdist
hatch run test           # Run unit tests
hatch run test --numprocesses=1 -k "selected_test_name" # Run just a few tests
hatch run all:test       # Test all Python versions
hatch run integ:test     # Integration tests (requires AWS)
hatch run lint           # Check formatting
hatch run fmt            # Auto-format code
hatch shell              # Enter dev environment

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.
