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 B, and why

consulting-agents-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 2 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

- Test Sonny: `curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/consult -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"agent":"Sonny","consultation_context":"Test message"}'`

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

  • Lint: python -m flake8 *.py
  • Type check: python -m mypy *.py

API Testing (HTTP Mode)

  • Test Sonny: curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/consult -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"agent":"Sonny","consultation_context":"Test message"}'
  • Test Darren: curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/consult -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"agent":"Darren","consultation_context":"Test message"}'

Environment Setup

  • Python 3.8+ required
  • Setup: python -m venv mcp_venv && source mcp_venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Configure .env file with OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, and GOOGLE_API_KEY

Code Style Guidelines

  • Follow PEP 8 standards for Python
  • Line length: 88 characters (Black formatter compatible)
  • Imports order: stdlib, third-party, local (separated by blank line)
  • Use type hints for all functions and parameters
  • Variable naming: snake_case for variables, UPPER_CASE for constants, PascalCase for classes
  • Google-style docstrings with Args/Returns sections
  • Structured logging with proper levels (info/error)
  • Explicit exception handling with specific error messages
  • Async functions for MCP tools, synchronous for internal functions
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.
