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

gitee-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 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.

What it actually says

GitHub Copilot instructions - gitee-mcp

Gitee MCP

Bridge to Gitee (gitee.com), China's largest Chinese-language code hosting platform: live activity radar, repo intel, user/repo search and zh->en translation via your local LLM.

Before starting work:

  1. Check what is humming: gitee_explore(operation="humming", limit=10)
  2. Check status/tier: show_gitee_status_card() or gitee_help()

At end of work, save insights:

  • Offer a watchlist of interesting repos you found (radar + repo commits)
  • Respect the anonymous budget (~60 req/hour) - cache-aware, small limits

Tools: gitee_explore, gitee_repo, gitee_search, gitee_translate, gitee_webhook, gitee_help, show_gitee_humming_card, show_gitee_status_card.

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.
