What is kube-MCP copilot-instructions.md?

A set of coding instructions for the kube-MCP project, an MCP server related to Kubernetes, a system for running and managing containerized applications. It covers the project’s architecture and configuration practices.

Use it when developing the kube-MCP repository. It provides guidance on the Kubernetes MCP server, its managers, and configuration validation.

It helps the coding agent follow the repository’s existing design instead of making unsupported structural changes. The input specifically mentions manager-based architecture and validation with Zod.

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	$0.01471	$0.01471
Opus 5.5	$0.00588	$0.00588
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00294	$0.00294

Security

Grade C, and why

kube-MCP copilot-instructions.md scanned grade C 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 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.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

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.
