unraid-management-agent: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/mcp.instructions.md

unraid-management-agent mcp.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from ruaan-deysel/unraid-management-agent. It costs 244 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for the MCP server, a service that lets AI agents call tools through a standard protocol, in the Unraid management agent. They describe the server files, tool registration, validation, responses, and documentation updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or reviewing an MCP tool, its JSON-RPC handler, input schema, response format, or integration documentation.
Why use it?
They provide a consistent way to add tools without bypassing existing controllers or returning incompatible errors. Input validation also limits problems caused by user-supplied values.

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

unraid-management-agent mcp.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 11d 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 it actually says

MCP Server Instructions

Reference: AGENTS.md for full project context.

Overview

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposes 54+ tools at POST /mcp using Streamable HTTP transport (spec 2025-06-18). It enables AI agents to monitor and control the Unraid system.

Key Files

  • server.go — Tool registration and MCP server setup
  • transport.go — HTTP transport for JSON-RPC requests

Adding a New Tool

  1. Define the tool handler function in server.go
  2. Register the tool with appropriate name, description, and input schema
  3. Follow existing tool patterns for input validation and response format
  4. Update documentation in docs/integrations/mcp.md

Patterns

  • Tools receive JSON-RPC requests and return structured responses
  • Input validation is required for all user-provided parameters
  • Use existing controller/collector infrastructure where possible
  • Tools should return consistent error formats

Library

Uses github.com/metoro-io/mcp-golang for the MCP server implementation.

Changes

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.
