mcp-task-manager basic-tests.instructions.md

Simple testing guidance for the mcp-task-manager project. It recommends a small test suite with a few important edge cases rather than exhaustive testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing tests for mcp-task-manager, with full code coverage treated as desirable but optional.
Why use it?
It keeps test changes focused on necessary behavior and avoids spending time on unlikely scenarios.

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

mcp-task-manager basic-tests.instructions.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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Keep tests simple. We only need a basic test suite. Only add or change what's really needed. Only test a few edge cases, not all exotic ones. Test code coverage of 100% is ideal, but not required.

Changes

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.
