What is mcp-earthquake-server copilot-instructions.md?

Project-specific instructions for an earthquake-monitoring server that gathers scientific data from several sources worldwide.

They are for building, reviewing, and maintaining the server and its TypeScript code, data providers, documentation, and error handling.

They keep development aligned with data-usage rules, scientific accuracy, validation, rate limits, and the warning that the system is not for emergencies.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01021	$0.01021
Opus 5.5	$0.00408	$0.00408
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00204	$0.00204
Haiku 4.5	$0.00102	$0.00102

Security

Grade C, and why

mcp-earthquake-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 2mo 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 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.
