What is access AGENTS.md?

A set of project instructions for coding agents working on Access, a self-hosted credential store and API proxy. It explains the codebase structure, security approach, and recurring coding patterns.

Use it when developing or reviewing Access code, especially API routes, upstream service clients, authentication, security, audit logging, database models, or its MCP server.

It gives agents the project context they need before changing code, reducing guesses about where logic belongs and how authentication, encryption, and auditing work.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01144	$0.01144
Opus 5.5	$0.00458	$0.00458
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00229	$0.00229
Haiku 4.5	$0.00114	$0.00114

Security

Grade A, and why

access AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Access — Agent Instructions

For agents developing on this codebase

What this is

Access is a self-hosted credential store + API proxy + MCP server for agents and scripts. Next.js App Router + Prisma + PostgreSQL.

Architecture

src/app/api/v1/<service>/route.ts — proxy route handlers (Zod validation, auth, proxy upstream)
src/lib/<service>/client.ts — upstream API client functions
src/lib/access.ts — request authentication (global token, consumer token, session)
src/lib/security/encryption.ts — AES-256-GCM encrypt/decrypt with key rotation support
src/lib/security/tokens.ts — HMAC-SHA256 consumer token generation and verification
src/lib/env.ts — environment variable helpers and encryption key loading
src/lib/audit.ts — audit event logging
src/middleware.ts — rate limiting and body size enforcement
prisma/schema.prisma — data model (Service, Secret, Consumer, AccessGrant, AuditEvent, etc.)
mcp-server.mjs — standalone MCP server exposing Google Workspace tools
scripts/rotate-keys.ts — encryption key rotation script

Key patterns

Every route uses isValidGlobalAgentToken() or authenticateRequestActor() for auth
Every route has Zod schemas for input validation
Every route catches errors with process.env.NODE_ENV === "development" gating on details
export const runtime = "nodejs" on all POST route handlers
Google services use authenticateGoogleRequest() which handles multi-account resolution

Adding a new service adapter

Create src/lib/<service>/client.ts with API functions
Create src/app/api/v1/<service>/route.ts following the hubspot pattern
Add env vars to .env.example
Update the Supported Services section in README.md

Data model

Service — a registered service (name, slug, description, visibility mode)
Secret — encrypted credential belonging to a service (envVarName, encryptedValue)
Consumer — an agent identity (name, slug, hashed token)
AccessGrant — links a consumer to a service or specific secret
AuditEvent — log of every access, reveal, copy, login, and API call
GoogleToken — OAuth tokens for Google multi-account broker

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.
