runwhen-platform-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

runwhen-platform-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from runwhen-contrib/runwhen-platform-mcp. It costs 2,550 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An instruction document for agents working on a RunWhen platform server. RunWhen is a system for investigating infrastructure and running automated checks, and an MCP server connects coding agents to its tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring authentication, choosing between workspace chat and direct tools, or working with the three RunWhen agent roles.
Why use it?
It prevents common setup and routing mistakes, such as leaving out the required workspace name or using the wrong kind of platform tool.

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

This is runwhen-contrib/runwhen-platform-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on runwhen-platform-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

runwhen-platform-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 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.

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 — RunWhen Platform MCP Server

This repository provides an MCP server and Cursor plugin for the RunWhen AI SRE platform. Three agent personas interact with the platform through MCP tools:

  • runwhen-sre — Investigates and troubleshoots infrastructure by querying the platform for issues, run sessions, and production insights.
  • runwhen-task-builder — Builds workspace-specific health checks and automation tasks by analyzing code and infrastructure, then testing and committing SLXs.
  • runwhen-codecollection-author — Builds reusable, parameterized codebundles that work across any environment. Tests them as SLXs in a workspace and cleans up after validation.

Authentication

  • Local (stdio) — The MCP client passes RUNWHEN_TOKEN (and RW_API_URL) in environment variables; there is no OAuth handshake in-process.
  • Remote (HTTP) — Each request carries auth: usually Authorization: Bearer with a JWT or Personal Access Token. When the server is deployed with MCP_BASE_URL and MCP_PAPI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID / MCP_PAPI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, MCP clients that support remote OAuth can sign in via the browser; discovery is at {MCP_BASE_URL}/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server, and the upstream OAuth app must allow redirect {MCP_BASE_URL}/auth/callback. Configure these variables on the server (not in the agent’s MCP client env). See the repo README section OAuth for remote HTTP deployments.

Important: workspace_name is required

Most tools require a workspace_name parameter. Always provide it explicitly — do not omit it or rely on defaults. If you don't know the workspace name, call list_workspaces first to discover available workspaces.

Tool Routing — workspace_chat vs direct tools

workspace_chat is the primary investigation tool. The agent searches (keyword, semantic, and fuzzy), navigates and correlates across resources, SLXs, issues, run sessions, and the knowledge base, and returns rich reports, diagrams, and tables. It produces materially better answers than combining multiple direct API calls for investigative questions.

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.
