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-outlook 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 13d 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 — agent notes

Guidance for agents working on this repo. End-user docs (tool catalog, setup, troubleshooting) live in README.md; don't duplicate them here.

What this is

MCP server exposing Microsoft Graph email operations as 40 tools over stdio, plus a standalone outlook CLI wrapper. A separate multi-mailbox plugin supports allowlisted search, reading, and bounded attachment access over stdio and loopback Streamable HTTP. It exposes twelve read-only tools by default, two local handoff tools only when that separate gate is enabled, five additional non-delete tools only when mailbox writes are explicitly enabled, and one send tool only when a third gate is enabled and a sending mailbox is pinned by configuration. Auth is Azure AD client-credentials (no user login). The original server remains single-mailbox per process; plugin services pin mailbox identity per instance.

Commands

npm ci                 # install exact dependencies
npm run build          # TypeScript -> dist/
npm run lint           # ESLint
npm run typecheck      # tsc --noEmit
npm run format:check   # Prettier
npm test               # Vitest unit tests
npm run verify         # pre-PR: lint, typecheck, tests, build and all three smokes
Command Gate
npm run verify pre-PR — lint, typecheck, tests, build and all three smokes
npm run format:check pre-PR — formatting; CI runs it too
npm run test:coverage enforces coverage thresholds
node scripts/live-readonly-smoke.js live Graph read smoke — requires real creds, not in CI
node scripts/live-writes-smoke.js live Graph write smoke — same

The failing-test / hotfix loop: run the narrowest vitest file first (npm test -- tests/path/file.test.ts), not the full suite.

For search/CLI work, include the focused suites under tests/services/*Search*, tests/services/graphPagination.test.ts, and tests/cli/. Packaging changes must also run npm pack --dry-run and confirm scripts/lib/ is present.

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.
