public-gateway-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

public-gateway-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Axcient/public-gateway-mcp. It costs 970 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for AI coding agents working on a Python MCP server. MCP is a standard way for AI tools to call external services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Following the development workflow, testing changes, exposing the server correctly, and handling OpenAPI documents and HTTP clients according to the repository rules.
Why use it?
It tells agents which commands and design rules to follow, reducing inconsistent changes and missed checks. TDD means writing tests before implementation.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is Axcient/public-gateway-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on public-gateway-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 public-gateway-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

public-gateway-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 6d 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.

This file provides guidance to AI coding agents when working with this repository.

Development Workflow

IMPORTANT: Always use just commands instead of underlying tools directly. Do not run uv, pytest, ruff, mypy, or other tools directly - use the just wrappers instead.

Test-Driven Development

The development workflow follows TDD principles:

  1. Write tests first in the tests/ directory
  2. Run just fix to auto-fix linting/formatting issues in case of linting errors
  3. Run just check-all is the most important command, as always should run this before committing

MCP server

  • mcp must be a module-level global in src/public_gateway_mcp/server.py, assigned at import time outside any function (for example mcp = build_mcp(...).mcp). It must be importable by the FastMCP CLI as public_gateway_mcp.server:mcp. Do not hide it behind __getattr__, lazy getters, or construction only inside main().
  • OpenAPI documents must be used exactly as loaded. Pass each document into FastMCP.from_openapi unchanged. Do not copy, deep-copy, rewrite paths, or otherwise modify the OpenAPI mapping.
  • One httpx.AsyncClient per OpenAPI mount: Create a client for each mounted API with base_url set from that spec’s servers[0].url, using the same API key header and timeout settings. Close every client in lifespan / finally. Do not share one client across mounts that have different server URLs.
  • Never use BaseException (including except BaseException). Use try/finally for cleanup that must run on failure or exit.

Testing

  • No mocking: Do not use unittest.mock, pytest monkeypatch to replace collaborators, httpx.MockTransport, fake clients, or other test doubles that stub out real behavior. Prefer dependency injection (pass OpenAPI documents, HTTP clients, callables) and real local HTTP servers when HTTP is required.

Code reviews

  • Every code review (including the code-reviewer subagent) must read the full current AGENTS.md from disk before judging the diff, then enforce every applicable rule. AGENTS.md violations are High/blocking unless clearly stylistic. just check-all does not enforce these conventions.

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.
