ie_mcp copilot-instructions.md

ie_mcp copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from JonasKlimt/ie_mcp. It costs 1,439 tokens per session, scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

Repository instructions for ie-mcp, a server that provides information about tracked software packages. They define when to use it, including for Brightway, a toolkit for life-cycle assessment—the study of environmental impacts across a product’s life.

In plain words
What is it for?
They are for routing questions and code work involving tracked packages, especially Brightway terms such as activities, exchanges, inventories, and impact assessments.
Why use it?
They help the agent choose the right package lookup and check the local environment before relying on version-sensitive information.

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

ie_mcp 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 3d 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.

GitHub Copilot Instructions for ie-mcp

These instructions apply whenever you are working in this repository or using the ie-mcp MCP server from any workspace.


Automatic ie-mcp usage for tracked packages

If the user asks about any package that is tracked by this server, or if the current question/code clearly concerns a tracked package, use the ie-mcp MCP tools by default even when the user did not explicitly ask to use ie-mcp.

Do not wait for explicit user wording such as "use ie-mcp" when package intent is already clear from the question or code context.

Keyword routing map (automatic triggers)

If trigger terms appear in the user request, code context, stack traces, or variable names, route via ie-mcp automatically.

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.
