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 B, and why

damens_mcps copilot-instructions.md scanned grade B with 2 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 2d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

GitHub Copilot Instructions

This file provides instructions for GitHub Copilot coding agent when working with this repository.

Project Overview

This is a collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for managing infrastructure components. Each MCP server provides AI assistants with direct API access to different platforms through standardized MCP interfaces.

Repository Structure

damens_mcps/
├── pfsense-mcp/      # Firewall and network management for pfSense
├── truenas-mcp/      # Storage and NAS management for TrueNAS
├── idrac-mcp/        # Dell server management via iDRAC
└── proxmox-mcp/      # Virtualization platform management for Proxmox VE

Project Status

  • pfSense MCP: ✅ Production-ready - Comprehensive firewall management with 25 tools
  • TrueNAS MCP: ✅ Production-ready - Storage and NAS management with HTTP/CLI interface
  • iDRAC MCP: ✅ Stable - Dell server power management with 8 tools for multi-server fleets
  • Proxmox MCP: ✅ Stable - Virtualization management with 21 tools for VMs and containers

Development Environment Setup

Python Virtual Environment (REQUIRED)

ALWAYS use virtual environments for Python development. Never install packages globally.

# Navigate to project directory
cd <project-name>

# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv

# Activate virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Each project uses different configuration methods:

TrueNAS & pfSense:

cp env.example .env
# Edit .env with actual credentials

iDRAC & Proxmox:

cp config.example.json config.json
# Edit config.json with actual credentials

Coding Conventions

General Standards

  1. Python Version: Python 3.8+ required
  2. Code Style: Follow PEP 8 standards
  3. Type Hints: Use type annotations for function parameters and returns
  4. Async/Await: Use async functions for I/O operations
  5. Error Handling: Comprehensive exception handling with meaningful messages

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.

damens_mcps copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository filthyrake/damens_mcps (2 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,668 tokens to every session, about $0.0133 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
