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

mcp-copilotcli-history python.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 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.

What it actually says

Python Code Standards

Type Hints

  • Use Optional[T] for nullable parameters
  • Use list[T], dict[K, V] (lowercase) for Python 3.10+ style
  • Import types from typing module when needed

MCP Tools

  • Decorate tools with @mcp.tool()
  • Include comprehensive docstrings with Args/Returns sections
  • Return list[dict] or dict for tool responses
  • Include error info in return value: {"error": "message"}

Style (PEP 8)

  • Use double quotes for strings
  • 4 spaces for indentation (no tabs)
  • Max line length: 88 characters (Black formatter)
  • Two blank lines before top-level functions/classes
  • One blank line between methods

Imports (PEP 8)

  • Group imports: stdlib, third-party, local (blank line between groups)
  • Sort alphabetically within groups
  • Use absolute imports over relative imports
  • Avoid wildcard imports (from x import *)

Naming (PEP 8)

  • snake_case for functions, variables, modules
  • PascalCase for classes
  • UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants
  • Prefix private items with underscore (_private_func)

Best Practices

  • Add docstrings to all public functions
  • Use defaultdict for counting/grouping operations
  • Prefer pathlib.Path over os.path
  • Use context managers (with) for file operations
  • Handle exceptions specifically, not bare except:

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.
