Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00727 | $0.00727 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00364 | $0.00364 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00145 | $0.00145 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00073 | $0.00073 |
Grade A, and why
rss-news 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 3d 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.

Project scope
- Node.js + TypeScript MCP server.
- Main goal: manage RSS subscriptions, sync news incrementally, and expose stable MCP tools for previewing, fetching, consuming, and counting news.
- Runtime DB default:
- Windows:
%APPDATA%/rss-news/rss.sqlite - Other platforms:
~/.local/share/rss-news/rss.sqlite
- Windows:
Core data model (do not break semantics)
subscriptions: current subscribed feeds plus sync metadata.entries: fetched news storage (feed_url + entry_uidis unique).deliveries: consumed marker storage.- State mapping in this project:
- consumed = exists in
deliveries - unconsumed = not in
deliveries
- consumed = exists in
- On first creation of a new database, seed default subscriptions from
example-subscriptions.json.
MCP tool contracts
list_subscriptions- Returns current subscriptions and sync metadata from
subscriptions.
- Returns current subscriptions and sync metadata from
upsert_subscriptions- Adds or updates subscriptions.
- Known RSSHub instance URLs must be normalized to canonical
rsshub://...feedUrls. - Return both
inputFeedUrland canonicalfeedUrl.
remove_subscriptions- Removes subscriptions by canonical
feedUrl. - RSSHub subscriptions must be removed using the stored
rsshub://...feedUrl. mode=purgealso deletes matchingentriesanddeliveries.
- Removes subscriptions by canonical
preview_feed- Does not write
subscriptions,entries, ordeliveries. - Supports multiple feed URLs in one request.
- Returns canonical
feedUrlfor each input.
- Does not write
sync_newsfeedUrlsis optional; if missing, use all subscribed feeds.- Reject unsubscribed
feedUrls.
fetch_newsfeedUrlsis optional; if missing, use all subscribed feeds.limitis a global total limit across feeds (not per-feed).includeConsumed=falsemeans only unconsumed items.- Does not modify
deliveries. - Returned
publishedAt/firstSeenAtmust beYYYY-MM-DDstrings.
consume_news- Same query shape as
fetch_news. - Marks returned unconsumed items in
deliveries.
- Same query shape as
count_news- Supports
includeConsumedswitch.
- Supports
set_consumption_status- Changes consumed state by date range via
deliveriesinsert/delete. - Date input is
YYYY-MM-DDand treated in UTC day boundaries.
- Changes consumed state by date range via
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.

rss-news AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository max1ab/rss-news (3 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT.
