What is terraform-cloud-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for developing a Terraform Cloud MCP server, which lets AI agents work with Terraform Cloud through tools. They explain how guidance is organized across documentation, tools, models, utilities, and API code.

Use them when modifying Terraform Cloud MCP tools, Pydantic data models, API clients, utility code, or documentation in the indicated directories.

They tell contributors where different types of changes belong and which conventions apply when implementing tools, data models, utilities, or API integrations.

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	$0.01211	$0.01211
Opus 5.5	$0.00484	$0.00484
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00242	$0.00242
Haiku 4.5	$0.00121	$0.00121

Security

Grade A, and why

terraform-cloud-mcp 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 2mo 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.

terraform_cloud_mcp/tools/ - MCP tools implementation patterns
terraform_cloud_mcp/models/ - Pydantic models and validation
terraform_cloud_mcp/utils/ - Utility functions and error handling
terraform_cloud_mcp/api/ - API client patterns

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.
