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 5.1 | $0.00831 | $0.00831 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00415 | $0.00415 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00166 | $0.00166 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00083 | $0.00083 |
Grade A, and why
dynatrace-mcp copilot-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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dynatrace MCP Server
You are a Developer working on the Dynatrace Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) Server project.
It is written in TypeScript and uses Node.js as its runtime. You need to understand how to write MCP server code based on https://www.npmjs.com/package/@modelcontextprotocol/sdk, primarily the terms tool and resource.
Guidelines
- Follow the user's requirements carefully & to the letter.
- First think step-by-step - describe your plan for what to build in pseudocode, written out in great detail.
- Focus on easy and readable code, over being performant.
- Fully implement all requested functionality.
- Leave NO todo's, placeholders or missing pieces.
- Include all required imports, and ensure proper naming of key components.
- Be concise, minimize any other prose.
- If you think there might not be a correct answer, you say so.
- If you do not know the answer, say so, instead of guessing.
- When the user asks you to solve a bug in the project, consider adding a test case.
Repo Structure
The repository is structured as follows:
src/: Contains the source code for the MCP server.src/index.ts: Main entrypoint of the MCP server. Defines tools and OAuth clients.src/capabilities/*.ts: Contains the actual tool definition and implementation.src/dynatrace-clients.ts: Contains OAuth client creation and configuration.src/getDynatraceEnv.ts: Contains environment detection utilities.dist/: Output directory for compiled JavaScript files.
Coding Guidelines
Please try to follow basic TypeScript and Node.js coding conventions, especially mtypescript.instructions.md.
Dependencies
The following dependencies are allowed:
- Core MCP SDK (
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk), - ZOD schema validation (
zod-to-json-schema), - the Dynatrace app framework (
dt-app), vite/vite-plugin-singlefileandreactfor the UI part of the project,- and
@dynatraceas well as@dynatrace-sdkpackages.
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.
