devices-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

devices-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from sandraschi/devices-mcp. It costs 1,198 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for a beta home-automation system that connects AI tools, a FastAPI web backend, a React web interface, and a desktop application. FastAPI is the Python web framework used by the backend, and React is the library used for the web interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing the MCP server, web application, desktop application, documentation, or backend services in the devices-mcp repository.
Why use it?
They clarify which part of the system to change and prevent multiple components from trying to use the same backend port. They also define the correct Git branch and startup rules.

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

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

devices-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 1mo 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.

devices-mcp — Per-Repo Agent Instructions

Last updated: 2026-06-02
Fleet standard: D:\Dev\repos\mcp-central-docs\standards\AGENTS.md
Version: v1.21.5 (beta)
Default git branch: main — ignore master (legacy mirror; may be deleted)


What this repo is

Beta home IoT stack — three delivery legs, one Python package:

Leg Path / artifact Role
1 — MCP src/devices_mcp/server_v2.py, devices-mcp.mcpb FastMCP stdio/HTTP, portmanteau tools
2 — Webapp web-sota/ FastAPI :10717 + React SPA /app/
3 — Desktop native/ → NSIS installer Tauri + PyInstaller sidecars

Rule: Only one backend on 10717. NSSM service and Tauri must not both bind the port.

Docs hub: docs/README.md · architecture: docs/ARCHITECTURE.md


Git branches

  • main — sole development and release branch; GitHub default.
  • master — leftover from pre-rename / old CI; was ahead of nothing useful. Do not branch from it. If it diverges again, fast-forward or delete on GitHub.

Clone: git clone https://github.com/sandraschi/devices-mcp then git checkout main if needed.

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.
