garmin-grafana-mcp-server: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

garmin-grafana-mcp-server copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from ghighi3f/garmin-grafana-mcp-server. It costs 1,932 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for a Python MCP server that reads Garmin health and training data from a local InfluxDB database for AI clients.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on data queries, MCP tools, FastAPI endpoints, health checks, or shared helpers. The server provides data but does not interpret it or give coaching advice.
Why use it?
They explain the server's architecture, database measurements, connection boundaries, and coding expectations, reducing confusion when changing the project.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is ghighi3f/garmin-grafana-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on garmin-grafana-mcp-server itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything garmin-grafana-mcp-server configures →

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

garmin-grafana-mcp-server 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 12d 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.

Copilot Instructions — garmin-grafana-mcp-server

What this project is

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with FastMCP in Python. It reads Garmin health and training data from a local InfluxDB instance (populated by garmin-grafana) and exposes it as MCP tools for LLM clients (Claude, Copilot, etc.) to consume.

The server is a pure data access layer — it never interprets data, never generates coaching advice, and never computes derived fitness metrics like ATL/CTL/TSB. The LLM is responsible for analysis.

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.
