mcp-slim-guard: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mcp-slim-guard AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from lennney/mcp-slim-guard. It costs 1,043 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository contract for Slim Guard, a TypeScript project that checks or controls MCP-based software integrations. It defines safe working practices, project boundaries, and important product rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying Slim Guard's runtime, tests, integration checks, candidate checks, or documentation while preserving its security and package-boundary rules.
Why use it?
It tells coding agents how to inspect the worktree, keep changes focused, protect existing edits, and avoid publishing or changing external systems without permission.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is lennney/mcp-slim-guard's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mcp-slim-guard 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-slim-guard 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-slim-guard 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 8d 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.

Slim Guard Agent Contract

This file defines the public repository rules for coding agents. It is a short operational contract. Human contribution rules remain in CONTRIBUTING.md, security reporting remains in SECURITY.md, and architecture details remain in docs/architecture-mcp-slim-guard.md.

Scope and source of truth

  • Start from the latest main and inspect the current worktree before editing.
  • Keep one change focused on one user-visible behavior or one maintenance goal.
  • Treat existing uncommitted work as user-owned. Do not reset, clean, migrate, or overwrite unrelated changes.
  • This public repository is not the source for private workbench plans, hidden evaluation cases, launch drafts, credentials, or private evidence.
  • Do not commit, push, publish, tag, or change external settings unless the user explicitly authorizes that action.

Repository map

  • src/ contains the TypeScript runtime and public exports.
  • tests/ contains unit, integration, policy, fixture, and adversarial tests.
  • scripts/candidate/ contains candidate and package-boundary checks.
  • scripts/integration/ contains protocol, Host, and package smoke checks.
  • scripts/benchmark/ contains measurement tools. Run them only when the change affects a measured claim.
  • docs/ contains public architecture, setup, roadmap, and evidence.

Read the relevant source and tests before changing a public interface. Do not move evaluation or release evidence into runtime modules.

When a directory, command, dependency, public interface, or implementation rule changes, update this file and the relevant human-facing documentation in the same change. Keep this file as the source of truth for agent-facing rules.

Product invariants

Every change must preserve these boundaries:

  • Authorization rejects undiscovered and unauthorized Tools.
  • A business Tool call reaches the upstream server at most once.
  • read_result never executes the upstream business Tool.
  • Exact upstream results remain recoverable when delivery is projected.
  • Delivery, storage, observer, or audit failures return the exact upstream result.
  • Logs and shareable reports exclude credentials, raw arguments, result bodies, local paths, and private capability references.

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.
