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-applescript CLAUDE.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 8d 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.

mcp-outlook-applescript

MCP server for Microsoft Outlook on Mac. 49 tools for mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes via AppleScript. TypeScript with strict mode, Zod validation, and security-hardened input escaping.

Commands

Command Purpose
npm run build Compile TypeScript to dist/ and set shebang
npm run typecheck Type-check without emitting
npm test Run 121 unit tests (vitest, no Outlook needed)
bash scripts/audit.sh 28 static quality checks (build, security, package, functional)
node scripts/doc-quality.mjs Score all 49 tool descriptions against 6-criterion rubric
node scripts/smoke-test.mjs Live integration tests (requires Outlook running)

Testing

When Run What it checks
Any code change npm run build && npm test && bash scripts/audit.sh Types, 121 unit tests, 28 static checks (security, package, bug-fix preservation)
Before release, or after changing AppleScript/repository/parser node scripts/smoke-test.mjs (Outlook must be running) Live integration: 45/49 tools via JSON-RPC against real Outlook
After changing tool descriptions or Zod schemas Give an MCP client a task without naming tools — it must discover and call them from descriptions Tool discoverability, schema usability, response format

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.
