pyspy-mcp AGENTS.md

pyspy-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from LBurny/pyspy-mcp. It costs 1,280 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for py-spy and pyspy-mcp. py-spy is a tool that measures where a Python program spends its time, while pyspy-mcp provides those profiling tools through MCP.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing, building, testing, or publishing the py-spy or pyspy-mcp codebase.
Why use it?
It gives an unfamiliar developer one place to find the project layout, build process, tests, and publishing rules. It also explains how the Rust profiler and Python server work together.

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

pyspy-mcp 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 5d 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.

py-spy / pyspy-mcp workspace instructions

Project overview

This workspace now contains two things:

  1. py-spy Rust source — a sampling profiler for Python programs.
  2. src/pyspy_mcp/ — a Python MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes py-spy based performance testing tools.

The Python package is intended for PyPI distribution. It depends on the published py-spy wheel for runtime, but during local development it will automatically use a py-spy binary built from the sibling Rust source (target/release/py-spy).

Directory layout

  • src/pyspy/ — Rust source for py-spy.
    • src/pyspy/python_bindings/vX_Y_Z.rs — Auto-generated CPython struct bindings. Do not hand-edit.
    • src/pyspy/lib.rs, src/pyspy/main.rs — Library and CLI entry points.
    • src/pyspy/python_spy.rs, src/pyspy/sampler.rs — Core profiling/sampling logic.
  • src/pyspy_mcp/ — Python MCP server.
    • server.py — FastMCP app and tool definitions.
    • tools.py — Wrappers that invoke py-spy and return results.
    • parser.py — Parsers for speedscope, raw, and dump JSON output.
    • process_util.py — Helper to list running Python processes.
    • py_spy_finder.py — Locates the py-spy binary (env var > local build > bundled > PATH).
  • tests/pyspy_mcp/ — Unit and integration tests for the Python MCP server.
  • tests/scripts/ — Python scripts used by the Rust integration tests and MCP integration tests.

Build, test, and publish

Rust (py-spy)

cargo build --release

Produces target/release/py-spy (Linux/macOS) or target/release/py-spy.exe (Windows).

Python MCP server

# Editable install (uses PyPI py-spy by default; local target/release build takes precedence if present)
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run the server
pyspy-mcp

# Run tests
python -m pytest tests/pyspy_mcp -v

If your environment has conflicting pytest plugins (e.g. hydra/omegaconf), run:

PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD=1 python -m pytest tests/pyspy_mcp -v

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.
