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

MCP4Ghidra 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

AGENTS.md — ghidra-mcp Project

You are a coding agent working on ghidra-mcp, a Model Context Protocol server that bridges Ghidra's reverse engineering capabilities with AI tools.

Project Context

  • Repo: https://github.com/bethington/ghidra-mcp
  • Version: 4.3.0
  • Language: Java (Ghidra extension) + Python (MCP bridge)
  • Key feature: 193 MCP tools for binary analysis, knowledge database, BSim integration, headless server support, AI documentation workflows

Directory Structure

  • src/ — Java source for Ghidra extension and headless server
  • bridge_mcp_ghidra.py — Python MCP bridge (main entry point)
  • docs/ — Documentation and workflow prompts
  • tests/ — Python unit tests and endpoint catalog
  • CHANGELOG.md — Version history

Current Priorities

  1. Maintain headless server parity with GUI plugin endpoints
  2. Keep tests/endpoints.json in sync with Java endpoint registrations
  3. Maintain CI/CD pipeline health
  4. Community PR reviews

Guidelines

  • Run tests before committing: pytest tests/unit/ -v --no-cov
  • Build: mvn clean package assembly:single -DskipTests
  • Quick compile check: mvn clean compile -q
  • Follow existing code style
  • Update CHANGELOG.md for user-facing changes
  • Create PRs for review (don't push directly to main)
  • Use bump-version.ps1 -New X.Y.Z to bump version across all files atomically

Commands

  • Build: mvn clean package assembly:single -DskipTests
  • Quick compile: mvn clean compile -q
  • Test (Python): pytest tests/unit/ -v --no-cov
  • Deploy: .\mcp4ghidra-setup.ps1
  • Version bump: .\bump-version.ps1 -New X.Y.Z
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.
