.github/copilot-instructions.md

zyxel-mcp-server copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from Nino6689/zyxel-mcp-server. It costs 318 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for a Model Context Protocol server that controls Zyxel network switches through their command-line interface. Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is a standard way for AI tools to call external services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or maintaining tools for Zyxel switch configuration, monitoring, and network management.
Why use it?
It gives development work a defined structure for switch commands, authentication, error handling, logging, and documentation.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

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

zyxel-mcp-server copilot-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 9d 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.

  • Framework: Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  • Target Hardware: Zyxel Switches
  • Purpose: CLI command execution and network management

Key Features

  • Complete Zyxel switch CLI command support
  • Network configuration management
  • Real-time monitoring capabilities
  • Secure command execution
  • Comprehensive error handling
  • Extensive logging and debugging

Development Guidelines

  • Follow MCP protocol specifications strictly
  • Implement proper error handling for all CLI operations
  • Use TypeScript for type safety
  • Include comprehensive documentation for all CLI commands
  • Implement proper authentication and security measures
  • Follow the MCP SDK patterns and best practices

Architecture

The server follows the standard MCP architecture:

  • Tools: CLI command execution functions
  • Resources: Switch configuration and status data
  • Prompts: Pre-configured templates for common operations

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.
