AGENTS.md

mcp_agent_mail_archived AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from jleechanorg/mcp_agent_mail_archived. It costs 3,135 tokens per session, scanned C, original, from a forked repository, MIT.

A set of project instructions for running and configuring an MCP agent mail server. MCP is a way for an AI agent to use external tools, while agent mail supports communication between multiple agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting the server, configuring the project, coordinating multi-agent work, or connecting agent mail with beads, a dependency-aware task planner.
Why use it?
It documents setup rules and coordination practices so agents can work together without losing track of dependent tasks.

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

This is jleechanorg/mcp_agent_mail_archived's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mcp_agent_mail_archived 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 mcp_agent_mail_archived configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/jleechan/mcp_agent_mail.

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

mcp_agent_mail_archived AGENTS.md scanned grade C 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 6d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

1. **Absolutely forbidden commands:** `git reset --hard`, `git clean -fd`, `rm -rf`, or any command that can delete or overwrite code/data must never be run unless the user explicitly provides the exact command and state

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

RULE NUMBER 1 (NEVER EVER EVER FORGET THIS RULE!!!): YOU ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO DELETE A FILE WITHOUT EXPRESS PERMISSION FROM ME OR A DIRECT COMMAND FROM ME. EVEN A NEW FILE THAT YOU YOURSELF CREATED, SUCH AS A TEST CODE FILE. YOU HAVE A HORRIBLE TRACK RECORD OF DELETING CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FILES OR OTHERWISE THROWING AWAY TONS OF EXPENSIVE WORK THAT I THEN NEED TO PAY TO REPRODUCE. AS A RESULT, YOU HAVE PERMANENTLY LOST ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DETERMINE THAT A FILE OR FOLDER SHOULD BE DELETED. YOU MUST ALWAYS ASK AND RECEIVE CLEAR, WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM ME BEFORE EVER EVEN THINKING OF DELETING A FILE OR FOLDER OF ANY KIND!!!

IRREVERSIBLE GIT & FILESYSTEM ACTIONS — DO-NOT-EVER BREAK GLASS

  1. Absolutely forbidden commands: git reset --hard, git clean -fd, rm -rf, or any command that can delete or overwrite code/data must never be run unless the user explicitly provides the exact command and states, in the same message, that they understand and want the irreversible consequences.
  2. No guessing: If there is any uncertainty about what a command might delete or overwrite, stop immediately and ask the user for specific approval. “I think it’s safe” is never acceptable.
  3. Safer alternatives first: When cleanup or rollbacks are needed, request permission to use non-destructive options (git status, git diff, git stash, copying to backups) before ever considering a destructive command.
  4. Mandatory explicit plan: Even after explicit user authorization, restate the command verbatim, list exactly what will be affected, and wait for a confirmation that your understanding is correct. Only then may you execute it—if anything remains ambiguous, refuse and escalate.
  5. Document the confirmation: When running any approved destructive command, record (in the session notes / final response) the exact user text that authorized it, the command actually run, and the execution time. If that record is absent, the operation did not happen.

We install everything via uv (including uv pip ...), NEVER raw pip. Always work inside a venv. We target Python 3.11+ (the codebase is tested on 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14), and we ONLY use pyproject.toml (not requirements.txt) for managing the project.

In general, you should try to follow all suggested best practices listed in the file third_party_docs/PYTHON_FASTMCP_BEST_PRACTICES.md

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.
