mcp-guide AGENTS.md

A project-instructions file describing how to handle mcp-guide responses, Git commits, and pytest. Pytest is a tool for running Python tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as guidance when handling MCP instructions, creating commits, or running the project's Python test suite.
Why use it?
It sets safety and testing rules for agents working on the deeprave/mcp-guide project, including not bypassing commit checks or skipping test completion.

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-guide 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 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

MCP Response Handling

  • Always respect instructions embedded in a response.
  • Always respect additional_agent_instructions embedded in a response.
  • If told to set_project, provide it with the project root directly and immediately.

These rules are critical for MCP operations to work correctly.

Git Commit Safety

  • NEVER EVER use --no-verify under any circumstances unless explicitly requested by the user.
  • Do not bypass commit checks.
  • NEVER use --no-gpg-sign; this is forbidden with no exceptions.
  • Do not bypass commit signing.

Pytest Execution

  • Run every pytest invocation in a foreground terminal, including direct pytest commands and indirect invocations through pre-commit or git commit hooks.
  • Do not run pytest in a background or short-lived execution context; wait for its complete result before proceeding.
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.
