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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00857 | $0.00857 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00428 | $0.00428 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00171 | $0.00171 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00086 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
connectwise-manage-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 7d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to autotask-mcp copilot-instructions.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Copilot Code Review Instructions — MCP Server Template
This file applies to all WYRE MCP servers (autotask-mcp, datto-rmm-mcp, syncro-mcp, halopsa-mcp, ninjaone-mcp, liongard-mcp, connectwise-manage-mcp, connectwise-automate-mcp, itglue-mcp, superops-mcp, atera-mcp, salesbuildr-mcp).
Review Philosophy
- Only comment when you have HIGH CONFIDENCE (>80%) that an issue exists
- Be concise: one sentence per comment when possible
- Focus on actionable feedback, not observations
- Do not suggest style changes unless they cause bugs or violate existing patterns
Project Context
- Stack: TypeScript (ESM), MCP SDK (
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk), vendor-specific Node.js client library - Transport: Dual-mode — stdio (local/Claude Desktop) and Streamable HTTP (gateway)
- Auth modes: Local (env vars) and Gateway (credentials injected via HTTP headers by the gateway proxy)
- Tool pattern: Decision-tree — a navigation tool exposes domains first, then dynamically loads domain-specific tools to avoid overwhelming Claude with 20+ tools at once
- Packaging: MCPB bundles (
.mcpb) for one-click Claude Desktop install, Docker images for gateway deployment - CI/CD: GitHub Actions — CI on push, semantic-release on main, Docker build + MCPB upload on release
- Testing: Jest with
ts-jest
Priority Areas (Review These)
Security
- Credentials must NEVER be logged, even at debug level — check
logger.debug()calls for leaked API keys, tokens, or secrets - Gateway header parsing (
parseCredentialsFromHeaders) must validate all required fields before use - Input validation: tool parameters from Claude must be validated via Zod schemas before hitting vendor APIs
- No hardcoded credentials, API keys, or URLs — everything must come from env vars or gateway headers
- HTTP requests to vendor APIs must use HTTPS only
Correctness
- Tool handlers must return proper MCP error responses (
McpErrorwith appropriateErrorCode), never throw unhandled exceptions - Missing credentials should produce a clear error message, not crash the server (warn and continue pattern)
- Pagination: vendor API calls that return lists must handle pagination correctly (check for
nexttokens / page counts) - Rate limiting: respect vendor API rate limits — check for 429 responses and surface them clearly
- Resource cleanup: HTTP server must handle SIGINT/SIGTERM gracefully
- Dual-mode: changes must work in both stdio and HTTP transport modes
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.
