ansible-flow-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

ansible-flow-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from real-limitless/ansible-flow-mcp. It costs 4,353 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for ansible-flow-mcp, an MCP server that exposes Ansible automation to AI agents. Ansible is a tool for managing computers through repeatable commands; the server can also coordinate multiple machines through a hub and spoke setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Searching Ansible modules, viewing their input rules, running modules or playbooks, managing connected hosts, and operating the optional hub and terminal interface.
Why use it?
They explain how agents should discover Ansible modules, check actions before running them, and work with shared server inventories.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions OpenCode.

This is real-limitless/ansible-flow-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on ansible-flow-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 ansible-flow-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

ansible-flow-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 8d 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 this is

ansible-flow-mcp is an MCP server that exposes Ansible to AI agents, plus an optional SSH hub/spoke multi-host fabric:

Layer Purpose
Core MCP search_modulesget_module_schemarun_module / run_playbook (check-first)
Hub/spoke (issue #2) Agent attaches to hub only; spokes enroll with join tokens; hub→spoke is SSH only
Operator TUI Curses UI on hub: servers/groups CRUD, invite tokens, launch OpenCode
Compose lab (lab/) Full hub + 3 spokes, smoke scripts, OpenCode bridge from host

Not affiliated with Red Hat/Ansible beyond the public CLI. Dual-tracked with OpenFlow gallery concepts.

Product docs: README.md, docs/QUICKSTART.md, docs/HUB.md, docs/SECURITY.md, lab/README.md.

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.
