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

outlook-local-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 8d 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.

AGENTS.md

  • Don't be an overachiever. Focus on the task, aiming for perfection in the execution rather than in adding extras.
  • Implement the solution using many small, isolated, single-purpose files. Your primary goal is to minimize the Lines of Code (LoC) in each file. Code duplication is explicitly allowed to maintain this structure.
  • Follow the Architectural Governance and Project Requirements Change process.
  • Use deepwiki MCP for knowledge about specific package implementations details when needed.
  • Use the file .deepwiki as a repository for relevant DeepWiki repositories.
  • Continuously keep the .gitignore accurate to not bloat the repository.
  • CHANGELOG.md is managed by release-please and MUST NOT be manually updated.

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.
