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

mcp-ical-swift CLAUDE.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 20d 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

CLAUDE.md

Architecture

  • MCP server (src/index.ts): Bun, @modelcontextprotocol/server v2, Zod 4. createServer() registers the tools and serveStdio(createServer) picks the protocol era per connection (2026-07-28 or 2025-era initialize). Calls the Swift binary via execFileSync with array args.
  • Swift binary (src/calendar-reader.swift, built to bin/calendar-reader, gitignored): EventKit access, JSON on stdout.

Commands

Command Purpose
bun run build Compile the Swift binary, then scripts/grant.sh for the one-off Calendar grant
bun run start / bun run dev Run the server (dev = watch mode)
bun test Unit tests: validation, write gate, schema bounds

Manual check on a Mac: bin/calendar-reader list-calendars, bin/calendar-reader list-events $(date +%Y-%m-%d).

Design decisions

  • Writes (create/update/delete) are off unless ICAL_ALLOW_WRITE=true.
  • execFileSync with array args and JSONSerialization output: no shell or JSON injection.
  • calendars: nil queries every calendar unless filtered; documented as a privacy trade-off.
  • Recurring edits use .thisEvent, never the series.
  • stdio only: no HTTP, no network, no API keys.

Conventions

Bun, conventional commits, British English in prose and American English in code. Tool description rules: .claude/rules/mcp-tool-descriptions.md.

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.
