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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00890 | $0.00890 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00445 | $0.00445 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00178 | $0.00178 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00089 | $0.00089 |
Grade A, and why
servicenow-mcp-ai 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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Copilot instructions — servicenow-mcp-ai server
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server written in TypeScript that lets an MCP client operate a ServiceNow instance across its full REST surface: 67 tools in 18 packages (Table, Aggregate, Attachment, Import Set, Batch, CMDB/IRE, Catalog, Change, Knowledge, Email, Flows, Codecheck, ATF…), plus script intelligence, multi-instance profiles and plan-and-apply write safety.
Architecture (layered — boundaries are ESLint-enforced)
src/core/— instance-agnostic plumbing:config.ts(env-file ConfigStore),settings.ts(everySN_*knob),policy.ts(two-axis table/package policy),http.ts+http-util.ts(retry matrix, per-host semaphore, telemetry),auth.ts/oauth-login.ts/jwt.ts/mtls.ts(all auth methods),host.ts(SSRF guard + host allow-list),write-journal.ts,errors.ts.src/api/— one module per ServiceNow REST area (table, aggregate, cmdb, catalog, change, flows, codecheck, atf…), all over mock-testablefetch.src/mcp/— server wiring:registry.ts(declarative tool manifest — a package is a plug-in),define.ts, result shaping,redact.ts(DF-5), prompts and resources.src/tools/— the per-package tool definitions consumed by the registry.src/core/jira/+src/api/jira/— Jira Cloud client scaffolding; no Jira tools are exposed yet (pending the ARCH-14 decision in project/TODO.md).bin/— entry points;src/index.tsis the server entry (stdio by default, Streamable HTTP withSN_TRANSPORT=http).
Credentials & policy
- Env-file chain:
SN_ENV_FILE→~/.config/servicenow-mcp-ai/.env→ project.env(git-ignored, written0600); real env vars take precedence. Runtime updates go through theservicenow_set_credentialstool. - Never log or echo
SN_PASSWORD/ tokens. - Writes are plan-by-default (
SN_WRITE_MODE), journaled per profile; policy axes:SN_TABLES_ALLOW/SN_TABLES_DENY/SN_READONLY+SN_PACKAGES_DENY/SN_PACKAGES_READONLY.
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.
