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

gwsadm-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 3d 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.

Repository overview

gwsadm-mcp is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposing Google Workspace security-audit data (login locks, suspicious logins, Drive external-sharing exposure) to AI assistants over stdio transport. Built on the official mcp Python SDK's MCPServer (gwsadm_mcp/server.py), with DomainClient (gwsadm_mcp/client.py) wrapping the Admin SDK Reports API via a service account + domain-wide delegation (DWD) credential. Read-only except one opt-in tool: sign_out_user (Directory API users().signOut) is registered only when GWSADM_ENABLE_SIGN_OUT=1; any change that registers it unconditionally, or adds another mutating call, is blocking. The only Admin SDK Reports API methods called anywhere in this package are activities().list and customerUsageReports().get() (the latter for gmail_usage_report); the full list of Google API calls, across all four APIs, is in CLAUDE.md. The underlying googleapiclient.discovery.build() setup call also fetches Google's discovery document over HTTP, separately from this read-only guarantee.

See CLAUDE.md for the authoritative command list and architecture notes — read it before reviewing changes to client.py or server.py.

Build & validate

uv sync --dev
uv run pytest -v                    # all tests
uv run ruff check .                 # lint
uv run ruff format --check .        # format check

This mirrors .github/workflows/ci.yml: a lint job (ruff check + ruff format --check) and a separate test job (pytest -v) on Python 3.10/3.12/3.13 on Linux, plus one Windows 3.12 job specifically to catch stdio newline regressions (modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk#2433). Both lint and test are real CI gates here.

What to focus review on in this repo

1. This is a stdio MCP server — stdout is a JSON-RPC channel, not a log

Any print() or library logging that writes to stdout (instead of stderr) corrupts the protocol stream for the connected client. Currently every print() in __main__.py lives in a branch that returns/exits before mcp.run() is reached — --version (prints then returns) and _check() (reached only via --check, sys.exit(_check())) — never concurrent with the live mcp.run() server. Flag any new code path that adds a print() or a logger without an explicit stderr handler that could execute while mcp.run() is active.

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.
