routeros-inspector-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

routeros-inspector-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from kevinb361/routeros-inspector-mcp. It costs 360 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Claude Code instructions for a read-only MikroTik RouterOS inspection server. They define safety limits, secure connection rules, test-data requirements, and repository hygiene.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or reviewing routeros-inspector-mcp, especially its inspection, audit, security, and testing behavior.
Why use it?
They prevent the assistant from making network changes, accepting unsafe device inputs, exposing secrets, or using real operational data in examples.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is kevinb361/routeros-inspector-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on routeros-inspector-mcp 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 routeros-inspector-mcp 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

routeros-inspector-mcp CLAUDE.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 11d 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.

What it actually says

RouterOS Inspector MCP

Purpose

A constrained, read-only MCP facade for MikroTik RouterOS inspection and policy-backed audits.

Hard safety boundary

  • Read-only only: never add mutation, reboot, restore, firmware, or user-management tools.
  • Never expose arbitrary RouterOS commands.
  • Accept inventory device IDs only; never accept caller-supplied hosts or IP addresses.
  • Fixture-only by default; live mode requires explicit --live.
  • Fail closed when the configured backend is unavailable.
  • API-SSL requires pinned trust, hostname verification, and TLS 1.2+ with no plaintext downgrade.
  • Keep stdio as the default. Network transports require explicit opt-in and bind only to loopback.
  • Redact secrets from tool output, logs, tests, and artifacts.
  • Bound multi-device and multi-audit fan-out before performing work.

Public-repository hygiene

  • Checked-in fixtures must be purpose-built synthetic data, not production captures.
  • Use RFC 5737 addresses and example.* names in examples.
  • Never commit config/devices.yaml, config/policy.yaml, certificates, live captures, audit logs, credentials, personal paths, or operational planning evidence.
  • Private credential and inventory integration belongs in ignored local configuration.

References

Use https://manual.mikrotik.com/llms.txt as the primary index for RouterOS API behavior.

Validation

make ci

The equivalent gate is:

ruff check .
pytest -n auto -q
python -m compileall -q src tests
git diff --check

Keep implementation small, inspectable, and conservative. Audits return unknown rather than claiming pass/fail when evidence or policy is missing.

Changes

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.
