fantastical-cli AGENTS.md

Project-specific instructions for Fantastical CLI, a command-line tool and server for accessing Fantastical calendar data on macOS.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the Fantastical CLI, its calendar-data backends, its command-line interface, or its AI-assistant server.
Why use it?
They prevent coding agents from using unsupported calendar interfaces or breaking the project's architecture.

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

fantastical-cli 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 yesterday.

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.

AGENTS.md — Fantastical CLI + MCP Server

Project overview

A Python CLI tool (fantastical) providing composable access to Fantastical calendar data on macOS, with an MCP server for AI assistant integration. Installed via uv sync, run via uv run fantastical <command>.

Critical constraint: Fantastical does NOT sync to Calendar.app. Accounts added directly to Fantastical are invisible to Calendar.app and EventKit. All data access must go through Fantastical itself — JXA scripting or Apple Shortcuts with Fantastical's App Intents. Do NOT attempt EventKit, CalendarStore, or Calendar.app bridges.

Architecture

src/fantastical/
├── backend/
│   ├── jxa.py            # osascript -l JavaScript subprocess runner
│   ├── fantastical.py     # JXA scripts (calendars) + URL scheme (create)
│   ├── shortcuts.py       # `shortcuts run` CLI wrapper (event queries, attendees, setup checks)
│   └── shortcut_gen.py    # Programmatic .shortcut file generation + signing
├── api.py                 # Business logic — both CLI and MCP call this
├── cli.py                 # Click CLI — user-facing, formats output
└── server.py              # FastMCP server — compact output, event/attendee caching

Layer rules

  1. backend/ touches macOS. Raw subprocess calls, JXA scripts, URL schemes. Returns parsed Python dicts. Never imported by server.py or cli.py directly — only through api.py.
  2. api.py is the single source of truth. Combines backends, resolves dates ("today" -> ISO), handles "shortcuts not configured" gracefully. Returns clean dicts.
  3. cli.py calls only api.py. Formats for humans (tables) or machines (--json). Never calls backends directly.
  4. server.py calls only api.py. Returns compact tab-separated text for list/search tools (with in-memory event/attendee caching), JSON for create. See server.py for per-tool response formats.

When adding a new capability: add backend function -> add api.py function -> add CLI command + MCP tool.

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.
