What is ssh-mcp-py copilot-instructions.md?

Repository instructions for a Python project that uses the uv tool for its environment and points developers to documentation for MCP, Paramiko, and the project API. They also specify how errors should be printed.

Use them when developing or maintaining the ssh-mcp-py project, especially for setting up its environment and handling Python errors.

They give contributors consistent rules for code structure, Python setup, error reporting, and documentation references. The input does not describe a standalone coding-agent feature.

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	$0.00127	$0.00127
Opus 5.5	$0.00051	$0.00051
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00025	$0.00025

Security

Grade A, and why

ssh-mcp-py 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 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.

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.
