What is askdb AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for AskDB, an application with an Express server, React dashboard, database packages, an MCP server, a command-line tool, and Docker-based sandboxes. They specify how to install, run, test, and organize the project.

Use them when developing, testing, or navigating AskDB, especially its server, dashboard, shared database code, synchronisation adapters, MCP tools, or command-line interface.

They give a coding agent the project's structure and operating rules, including its package manager, runtime version, database approach, and security boundaries. This reduces the risk of editing the wrong layer or exposing direct database access.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00204	$0.00204
Opus 5.5	$0.00082	$0.00082
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00041	$0.00041

Security

Grade A, and why

askdb 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 2mo 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.

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.
