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

This is dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-houdini's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on dcc-mcp-houdini 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 dcc-mcp-houdini 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

dcc-mcp-houdini 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 19d 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.

Build & test

vx just dev                  # pip install -e ".[dev]"
vx just test                 # pytest tests/ -v --tb=short
vx just test-cov             # pytest with coverage on src/dcc_mcp_houdini

vx just prek                 # run every pre-commit/prek hook against all files

Windows host debug (recipe names verified in justfile):

vx just houdini-version=20.5 houdini-dev-build-link-core-win  # build core + symlink
vx just houdini-version=20.5 houdini-dev-debug-win            # launch Houdini
vx just build-houdini-package platform=win64                  # release assets

Other useful recipes: houdini-link / houdini-link-win (symlink src/dcc_mcp_houdini into Houdini's Python site-packages), houdini-status, serve, fix, format, build, clean.

Agent control path

AI agent runtimes default to the shared gateway through the dcc-mcp skill and dcc-mcp-cli REST commands:

dcc-mcp-cli search --query "<task>" --dcc-type houdini
dcc-mcp-cli describe <tool-slug>
dcc-mcp-cli call <tool-slug> --json '{"key":"value"}'

Use dcc-mcp-cli list for live instances and dcc-mcp-cli dcc-types for release-catalog support. IDE users may continue to configure the gateway MCP endpoint; adapter-local Python start APIs are for host bootstrap and tests.

CLI availability and updates

If dcc-mcp-cli is missing, obtain user consent before using the official install commands in the README Agent workflow. Keep an official build current with:

dcc-mcp-cli update check
dcc-mcp-cli update apply

update apply stages the latest CLI for the next launch; it does not replace a running server.

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.
