mcp_dart: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mcp_dart AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from leehack/mcp_dart. It costs 1,244 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for mcp_dart, a Dart software development kit and command-line package for MCP, the protocol that lets AI assistants communicate with tools and data sources. They describe its code layout, compatibility priorities, engineering principles, tests, and release process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing the Dart SDK, CLI, tests, protocol schemas, release automation, or documentation, and when preparing a release.
Why use it?
They give coding agents clear rules for preserving protocol correctness and compatibility while changing the SDK or CLI.

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

This is leehack/mcp_dart's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mcp_dart 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_dart 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

mcp_dart 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 1mo 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.

mcp_dart Agent Guidelines

Use this file for durable, repository-specific rules. Keep detailed procedures in focused docs and runbooks.

Priorities

  1. MCP and JSON-RPC specification correctness.
  2. Backward compatibility and cross-SDK interoperability.
  3. Simple, maintainable code.
  4. Evidence-backed delivery: tests, examples, CI, and clean review threads.

Repository shape

  • SDK: lib/, public barrel lib/mcp_dart.dart, minimum Dart 3.4.
  • CLI: packages/mcp_dart_cli/, minimum Dart 3.12.
  • Tests: test/ and package-local test/ directories.
  • Release automation: .github/workflows/ and tool/release/.
  • Release process details: tool/release/README.md and doc/mcp-2026-07-28-release-runbook.md.

Engineering principles

  • KISS: Prefer the smallest clear design that preserves protocol behavior. Avoid speculative features, hidden normalization, and clever control flow.
  • SOLID: Keep types and modules cohesive, make dependencies and capability boundaries explicit, and extend behavior without destabilizing existing APIs.
  • DRY: Keep protocol constants, version parsing, schemas, and release rules in one source of truth. Reuse shared behavior when copies must stay identical; do not introduce an abstraction merely to remove a few obvious lines.
  • Minimize direct and transitive dependencies. Do not add a dependency or raise a package's minimum Dart version without explicit human approval. Before requesting approval, document the need, alternatives, compatibility impact, and transitive footprint.
  • Optimize measured or structurally clear hot paths. Do not trade correctness or readability for unproven micro-optimizations.
  • Preserve public API compatibility unless a breaking change is explicitly approved and documented with migration guidance.

Protocol quality bar

  • Treat the official MCP specification as authoritative. Convenience APIs must not distort wire-level JSON-RPC/MCP semantics.
  • Preserve request IDs, metadata, method names, capability flags, error codes, and transport-specific behavior unless the specification permits otherwise.
  • Distinguish advertised capabilities from runtime support and validate both.
  • Keep lower-level protocol behavior observable and testable when adding ergonomic helpers.
  • When a spec version is new or ambiguous, encode the compatibility decision in regression tests and cite the spec or rationale in focused documentation.

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.
