filesystem-mcp copilot-instructions.md

filesystem-mcp copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from sandraschi/filesystem-mcp. It costs 119 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Copilot instructions for a file-system MCP server, an AI tool that can work with files, folders, Docker containers, and system information. They describe required checks before and after work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or operating this server's file, directory, search, Docker, monitoring, and lock-management tools.
Why use it?
They help the agent inspect the system first, write files safely, and clean up containers and locks when the task is finished.

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 copilot-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 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.

What it actually says

Session Context (Filesystem MCP)

You have access to Filesystem MCP: 24 tools for file operations, Docker containers, and system monitoring.

Before starting work:

  1. Check system status: monitor_get_system_status(include_processes=False)
  2. Explore relevant directories: dir_ops(operation="list_directory", path="D:/Dev/repos")

At end of work, clean up:

  • Close long-running containers you started, verify locks with get_lock_status()
  • Prefer atomic writes through file_ops(operation="write_file") over raw file APIs
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.
