toolfence: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

toolfence AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from jiangkoumo/toolfence. It costs 417 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for ToolFence, a security-focused agent project. They define required checks, denial-path tests, privacy rules for logs, release steps, and coordination with a related repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the proxy or command-line interface, writing security tests, auditing dependencies, preparing releases, or synchronizing related documentation.
Why use it?
They help keep security behavior fail-closed: denied, cancelled, timed-out, or disconnected operations must not be forwarded or approved later by accident.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is jiangkoumo/toolfence's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on toolfence 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 toolfence 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

toolfence AGENTS.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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

ToolFence 项目约束

安全代理项目,改动必须小而明确,且要有拒绝路径(denial-path)测试。

提交前必跑

npm run verify        # typecheck + 覆盖阈值测试 + build + demo + 打包冒烟 + pack dry-run
npm audit --omit=dev  # 生产依赖审计

发布前再加 npm run release:check

安全与信任边界

  • 测试要覆盖受影响路径中的:成功、拒绝、畸形输入、取消、超时、断开。
  • 改 proxy/CLI 时,stdout 只保留 MCP JSON-RPC,不打印调试信息。
  • 不记录原始工具参数、命令参数、审批 token、原始上游结果(审计只记 hash / operation / resources)。
  • fail-closed 是核心不变式:deny / timeout / 取消 一律「未转发」,不留可事后授权的幽灵审批。
  • 漏洞走 SECURITY.md 私报,不开公开 issue。

发布与版本

  • 只通过 GitHub Actions publish.yml 可信发布,不加 npm 长令牌。
  • 保留 contentPolicy: "dual-use" 和根目录 DISCLOSURE(npm 声明为永久)。
  • 发布失败不要复用或移动 tag:修好后升版本号再发。

跨仓库联合开发(AgentTape)

  • docs/AGENTTAPE_TOOLFENCE_ALIGNMENT.md 必须与 AgentTape 仓库(~/Documents/ChatGPT/#)的同名文件字节一致,改动要两边镜像。
  • 每轮只改一个「主开发项目」,另一个固定在已记录的 commit/version 作为伴随观察器。
  • 改行为或发布保证时,同步更新 README、TESTING、CHANGELOG。

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.
