cad-mcp-server: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

cad-mcp-server AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from mattmohandiss/cad-mcp-server. It costs 333 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for a local, read-only server that inspects STEP files, a standard format for 3D computer-aided design models. It returns measured geometry data for an AI assistant to interpret.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up, running, testing, linting, or formatting the CAD MCP server, or when asking questions about the geometry of STEP files.
Why use it?
It keeps CAD inspection focused on factual model data and prevents the server from being used for editing, manufacturing operations, or unsupported engineering judgments.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is mattmohandiss/cad-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on cad-mcp-server 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 cad-mcp-server 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

cad-mcp-server 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 16d 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.

What it actually says

Geometry MCP Contributor Instructions

  • Keep the public surface focused on inspect, find_entities, measure, and diff. Return measured facts, not manufacturing approval or design intent.
  • Preserve read-only STEP handling, strict schemas, revision checks, and explicit entity ID schemes. Do not add arbitrary kernel/code execution.
  • Use strict TypeScript, ESM imports with .js extensions, single quotes, and existing Prettier/oxlint conventions.
  • Prefer just recipes. Run just check for source changes; use just ci and configured native tests for sidecar-sensitive changes.
  • .envrc activates the flake; run direnv allow after changing it. Server logs go to stderr as pino JSON; MCP_LOG_LEVEL and MCP_LOG_FORMAT tune them.
  • Keep tests, fixtures, build inputs, and required documentation server-local.
  • Never advertise the workspace contracts/ schemas as a tool outputSchema: they use cross-file $ref, which MCP clients must not dereference. Advertised schemas must be self-contained. See ENGINEERING-ARTIFACT-CONTRACT.md §Relationship to MCP.
  • Use conventional commits; do not manually bump release-managed versions, edit generated changelog history, or publish outside the release workflow.
  • Native build outputs are generated artifacts; do not commit them.

See development for commands, packaging, and release details.

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.
