AGENTS.md

MCP-Packet-Tracer AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Mats2208/MCP-Packet-Tracer. It costs 1,314 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for an MCP server that automates Cisco Packet Tracer, a network-simulation program used to configure and test virtual devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for developing and testing the server, its network models, JavaScript and IOS configuration generators, MCP tools, and Packet Tracer integration.
Why use it?
It explains how the server plans topologies, validates them, generates device commands, and connects to Packet Tracer through a local bridge.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is Mats2208/MCP-Packet-Tracer's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on MCP-Packet-Tracer 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-Packet-Tracer 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-Packet-Tracer 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 9d 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.

Notes for coding agents working in this repo. Read this before changing anything under src/.

What this is

An MCP server that automates Cisco Packet Tracer. It plans network topologies, validates them, generates JavaScript for PT's script engine and IOS CLI config for the devices, and can push all of it into a running copy of Packet Tracer over a local HTTP bridge.

Language

Write everything in the repo in English: code, comments, docstrings, tool descriptions, user-facing messages, tests, docs and commit messages. This keeps the project usable by anyone, whatever their language. Talk to your user in their preferred language — only what you write into the repo is English.

Build and test

pip install -e ".[test]"
python -m pytest          # from the repo root, no PT required

There is no linter or formatter configured. Match the surrounding style: type hints on public functions, from __future__ import annotations at the top, comments in English (see Language above).

Layout

src/packet_tracer_mcp/domain/ Pydantic models, validation rules, planning services

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.
