piazza-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

piazza-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from mkslge/piazza-mcp. It costs 1,219 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for developing the Piazza MCP server, a Python program that provides access to Piazza course forums. They describe supported Python versions, dependencies, architecture and coding workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the Piazza MCP server, especially its protocol handlers, tools, schemas, services, models, configuration or dependencies.
Why use it?
They help contributors make changes that fit the project's structure and avoid runtime, dependency or packaging mistakes.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is mkslge/piazza-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on piazza-mcp 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 piazza-mcp 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

piazza-mcp 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 7d 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 Agent Instructions

This project is a Python MCP server. The package source lives under src/piazza_mcp/.

Runtime Compatibility

  • Support Python 3.10 through 3.14.
  • The server currently uses the MCP Python SDK v1 low-level Server decorator API. Keep the runtime requirement at mcp>=1.28.1,<2 until an intentional MCP 2 migration updates the handlers, result construction, tests, and transport setup together.
  • When changing dependencies, update both pyproject.toml and uv.lock.
  • Do not assume that passing locked tests proves package compatibility. For dependency or packaging changes, install the built wheel in a clean environment so its declared dependency ranges are resolved independently of uv.lock.

Architecture

  • src/piazza_mcp/server.py is the MCP protocol boundary. Keep MCP handlers thin.
  • src/piazza_mcp/mcp_tools/ owns tool descriptions, input schemas, and MCP annotations.
  • src/piazza_mcp/mcp_schemas/ owns structured-output schemas.
  • src/piazza_mcp/services/ contains domain and service logic.
  • src/piazza_mcp/models/ contains simple data structures.
  • src/piazza_mcp/config/ owns environment and configuration loading.

Prefer putting reusable behavior in services instead of in MCP handlers. Keep configuration loading out of services except through injected values or config exports. Keep external APIs behind injectable client protocols or adapters, and perform lazy configured composition in the domain factory modules.

Secrets and External Data

  • Never read, print, search, or include the contents of .env in command output. Discover configuration names from src/piazza_mcp/config/, tests, or the redacted .env.example.
  • Never expose Piazza passwords, cookies, course IDs, post contents, or personal names in logs, fixtures, documentation, or prompts.
  • Do not make live Piazza calls during ordinary tests. Use fixtures, fakes, and injected clients.
  • Run the live inspection scripts only when the user explicitly authorizes access to the configured external service.
  • Preserve Piazza's read-only behavior, configured-course allowlist, request and response bounds, truncation, and untrusted-content warnings.

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.
