AGENTS.md

activitywatch-mcp-server-py AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Jelloeater/activitywatch-mcp-server-py. It costs 3,362 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a Python MCP server that connects AI coding assistants to ActivityWatch, an application that records computer activity and time use. It describes the server's architecture and command-line entry point.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, packaging, or extending the ActivityWatch MCP server and its time-tracking tools.
Why use it?
It gives agents the project structure and connection details needed to change the server without breaking communication with ActivityWatch or MCP clients.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions OpenCode.

This is Jelloeater/activitywatch-mcp-server-py's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on activitywatch-mcp-server-py itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

activitywatch-mcp-server-py AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

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.
