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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00753 | $0.00753 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00377 | $0.00377 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00151 | $0.00151 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00075 | $0.00075 |
Grade A, and why
codex-mcp-server 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 2d 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.

Repository Guidelines
Project Structure & Module Organization
src/TypeScript sources (ESM):index.tsMCP entrypoint (stdio server)tools/MCP tools (*.tool.ts),registry.ts,index.ts(registration)utils/execution, logging, parsing helpersconstants.tsshared types/strings
dist/compiled output (generated bytsc).docs/VitePress docs.scripts/maintenance utilities (e.g., wiki deploy).
Example: add a tool under src/tools/my-feature.tool.ts, then register it in src/tools/index.ts by pushing to toolRegistry.
Build, Test, and Development Commands
npm run build— compile TypeScript todist/.npm start— run server fromdist/.npm run dev— compile once then run (no watch).npm run lint— type-check only (tsc --noEmit).- Docs:
npm run docs:dev|docs:build|docs:preview— develop/build/preview VitePress site.
Requirements: Node >=16. The server shells out to the codex CLI; ensure it's installed and authenticated in your environment.
Coding Style & Naming Conventions
- Language: TypeScript (ESM, Node16 resolution). Imports use
.jsextensions insrc/to match ESM output. - Indentation: 2 spaces; prefer single quotes in strings except where template literals or readability favors otherwise.
- Filenames:
kebab-case. Tools end with.tool.ts(e.g.,fetch-chunk.tool.ts). - Types: keep
zodschemas colocated with tools; export aUnifiedTooland register it.
Testing Guidelines
- Currently no automated tests (
npm testis a stub). If adding tests, place them alongside sources (e.g.,src/**/__tests__) and mirror filenames. - Aim for unit coverage on parsing/execution utilities in
src/utils/and schema validation.
Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
- Commits: concise, imperative subject (e.g.,
feat: add brainstorm tool,fix(utils): handle quota errors). - PRs: include a clear description, linked issues, reproduction steps, and sample CLI output (stdout/stderr) when relevant.
- Keep changes scoped; update docs in
docs/orREADME.mdwhen behavior/CLI 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.
