filesystem-mcp AGENTS.md

filesystem-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from sandraschi/filesystem-mcp. It costs 322 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent guide for a file-system MCP server that provides file operations, directory tools, Docker controls, system monitoring, and host information. It also documents its ports and response conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to work with the server's file, directory, search, container, Docker Compose, monitoring, host, and lock-status features.
Why use it?
It makes the available tools, which actions change data, and the server's safety and concurrency rules clear before development or operation.

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

filesystem-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 4d 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.

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.
