Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is peadams21/Google-Calendar-MCP-Server's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on Google-Calendar-MCP-Server 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 Google-Calendar-MCP-Server 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 C, and why

Google-Calendar-MCP-Server copilot-instructions.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

What it actually says

Google Calendar MCP Server Copilot Instructions

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server project for Google Calendar integration. Please follow these guidelines when working with this codebase:

Project Overview

  • This is an MCP server that provides tools for Google Calendar API integration
  • Built with TypeScript and uses the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  • Handles OAuth authentication, event management, and calendar operations
  • Follows the Model Context Protocol specification

MCP Resources

You can find more info and examples at https://modelcontextprotocol.io/llms-full.txt

Code Guidelines

  1. TypeScript Best Practices: Use strict typing, proper error handling, and follow the existing code patterns
  2. MCP Protocol: All tools must follow the MCP tool schema format with proper input validation using Zod
  3. Google Calendar API: Use the googleapis library and handle authentication properly
  4. Error Handling: Return structured error responses that follow the MCP format
  5. Security: Never expose sensitive credentials in logs or responses

Tool Development

When adding new tools:

  • Define proper Zod schemas for input validation
  • Create corresponding ToolSchema definitions
  • Implement async handlers with proper error handling
  • Return structured responses with success/error states
  • Add comprehensive JSDoc comments

Authentication

  • Uses Google Service Account authentication
  • Environment variables are loaded from .env file
  • Handle token refresh and error scenarios gracefully

Testing

  • Test all tools manually using MCP-compatible clients
  • Validate input schemas and error cases
  • Ensure proper integration with Google Calendar API

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.
