What is mace CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for MACE, a server that checks and fixes regional content rules on Adobe Experience Manager websites through its built-in web interfaces.

Listing AEM pages, scanning for content-rule violations, viewing styles, and fixing violations through natural-language requests.

They explain the system's purpose, layout, technology, rules, and available tools so an assistant can work on it accurately.

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	$0.01263	$0.01263
Opus 5.5	$0.00505	$0.00505
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00253	$0.00253
Haiku 4.5	$0.00126	$0.00126

Security

Grade A, and why

mace 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.

MACE — Context for AI Assistants

This file gives Claude (and other AI tools) concise context when working in this repository.

What MACE is

MACE (MCP-Assisted Content Enforcement) is an MCP server that enforces regional content governance on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) using native AEM APIs only (no custom AEM code). It is used from Claude Desktop or Cursor: users run natural-language prompts that map to tools (list pages, scan violations, list styles, fix violations). Governance rules are defined in a JSON file; the server resolves policies from page templates when not explicitly set.

Tech stack

Runtime: Node.js 18+
Language: TypeScript (compiled to dist/)
Protocol: Model Context Protocol (MCP), stdio transport
AEM: HTTP only — QueryBuilder, Sling GET (.infinity.json), Sling POST. No Maven, no custom AEM bundles.

Repository layout

Path	Purpose
`src/index.ts`	MCP server entry; registers 5 tools and routes `CallTool` to handlers.
`src/governance-config.ts`	Loads and parses `governance-rules.json`; rule/component lookup; no restart needed for rule changes.
`src/aem-client.ts`	HTTP client for AEM (GET/POST); uses `.env` for URL and credentials.
`src/template-policy-resolver.ts`	Resolves Content Policy path from page template (cq:template → policies → component mapping).
`src/policy-styles.ts`	Fetches policy styles (cq:styleGroups) and resolves style label ↔ ID.
`src/tools/*.ts`	One file per tool: list-pages, list-violations, list-styles, update-style, fix-violations.
`governance-rules.example.json`	Example governance rules (v1.1 schema). Users copy to `governance-rules.json` (gitignored).
`.env`	AEM URL, credentials, timeouts; loaded from project root. Not committed.
`scripts/run-acceptance.cjs`	Acceptance script that calls tool handlers against a live AEM (requires AEM + .env).
`docs/MACE-UseCase-Architecture.pdf`	Architecture and setup documentation.

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.
