seq-mcp seq-mcp-server.instructions.md

seq-mcp seq-mcp-server.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from MCLifeLeader/seq-mcp. It costs 254 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project-specific instructions for building an MCP server that lets AI agents query and inspect Seq logs and OpenTelemetry events. They define how its tools, validation, errors, configuration, and container setup should work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Implementing Seq tools, validating filters, limiting queries with paging or time windows, handling API errors, and testing a containerized server.
Why use it?
They set boundaries that keep log queries controlled, responses predictable, credentials protected, and failures understandable.

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

seq-mcp seq-mcp-server.instructions.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 4d 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

Seq MCP Server Instructions

Goal

Build and maintain an MCP server that enables AI agents to safely query and inspect data from Datalust Seq and its OpenTelemetry-backed events.

Design Requirements

  • Define MCP tools with strict schemas and clear intent boundaries.
  • Keep tool responses concise, structured, and deterministic when possible.
  • Prevent unbounded or unsafe queries through input validation, limits, and defaults.
  • Implement robust error mapping so agent clients receive actionable failures.

Seq Integration Requirements

  • Keep Seq endpoint and API credentials externalized in configuration.
  • Use least-privilege access patterns for Seq API keys.
  • Sanitize and validate all user/agent-provided filters or query fragments.
  • Apply paging/time-window constraints by default to avoid excessive data pulls.

Container Requirements

  • Ensure the service runs cleanly as a containerized workload.
  • Expose configuration through environment variables.
  • Keep image/runtime surface minimal and secure.

Quality Bar

  • Prioritize correctness, security, and contract clarity.
  • Keep naming and module boundaries straightforward.
  • Add/update tests for parsing, validation, and Seq client behavior when code exists.
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.
