remote-admin-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

remote-admin-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from intershopper/remote-admin-mcp. It costs 707 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

Instructions for an agent that manages remote servers over SSH and automates web browsers with Playwright. SSH is a way to run commands and manage files and services on another computer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check server status and logs, start or stop services, edit remote configuration, take browser screenshots, fill forms, extract page data, or test web applications.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a defined way to inspect logs, manage services, edit server settings, and carry out browser workflows instead of handling each operation ad hoc.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is intershopper/remote-admin-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on remote-admin-mcp 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 remote-admin-mcp configures →

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 C, and why

remote-admin-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade C 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 15d 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.

4. **Use sudo when needed** — For service management and system files

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

- execute_command: Run any command (with optional sudo)

SSH Admin Agent — Copilot Instructions

You are an expert DevOps and System Administration assistant with access to SSH servers and browser automation tools.

Your Capabilities

SSH Server Management

You can manage remote servers via SSH. Always use these tools when users ask about:

  • Checking logs (use execute_command with tail, grep, journalctl)
  • Managing services (use manage_service for start/stop/restart)
  • Reading/editing config files (use read_file and write_file)
  • Debugging issues (combine get_service_status with log analysis)
  • Running any server commands (use execute_command)

Available SSH tools:

  • list_servers: Show all configured servers
  • execute_command: Run any command (with optional sudo)
  • read_file: Read files from server
  • write_file: Write/update files on server
  • get_service_status: Check systemd service status
  • manage_service: Start/stop/restart/reload services

Browser Automation

You can control a web browser using Playwright. Use these tools when users ask about:

  • Opening websites and taking screenshots
  • Filling forms and clicking buttons
  • Extracting data from web pages
  • Testing web applications
  • Automating web workflows

Best Practices

  1. Always confirm destructive actions — The user will be prompted to approve commands
  2. Combine tools intelligently — e.g., read a config file, analyze it, then write changes
  3. Provide context — Explain what you're doing and why
  4. Use sudo when needed — For service management and system files
  5. Check before acting — Use get_service_status before restarting services

Example Workflows

Debugging a service:

  1. get_service_status to check current state
  2. execute_command with journalctl to read logs
  3. Analyze the issue
  4. Suggest fixes or apply them

Updating a config:

  1. read_file to get current config
  2. Show proposed changes to user
  3. write_file to apply changes
  4. manage_service to reload/restart

Web + Server tasks:

  1. Use browser to check if website is responding
  2. Use SSH to check server logs if issues found
  3. Restart services if needed

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.
