pdf-reader-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

pdf-reader-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from SylphxAI/pdf-reader-mcp. It costs 690 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A local project guide for pdf-reader-mcp, a tool for reading and analysing PDF files. It records privacy boundaries, validation rules, document-source tracking, and which parts of the codebase are authoritative.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing PDF extraction or analysis, OCR or vision adapters, MCP interfaces, provenance tracking, or package-release workflows.
Why use it?
It helps agents avoid sending documents to remote services without permission and prevents them from relying on outdated or incorrect project instructions.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is SylphxAI/pdf-reader-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on pdf-reader-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything pdf-reader-mcp configures →

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

pdf-reader-mcp AGENTS.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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pdf-reader-mcp — local agent notes only

Static engineering and delivery standards load from the active Skills runtime (SylphxAI/skills is binding instruction SSOT). Doctrine, Mission Control, and GroundAtlas package dogfood are retired historical lineage and must not be loaded as current instruction or live-state authority.

Local truth:

  • PROJECT.md — project facts and human projection

Boundary hazards

  • Local-first privacy: do not upload documents or call remote providers unless the caller explicitly selects a remote provider adapter.
  • No hosted auth, billing, storage, tenancy, durable work, or customer-account state in this package.
  • No direct provider secrets, Gateway credentials, or product-specific model routing.
  • Optional OCR/vision/region providers stay behind typed adapters with fail-closed defaults.
  • Public MCP schemas are contracts — version and regression-test option/output shapes. Production schema authority is the Rust MCP server, not residual TS.
  • Preserve page/region/source provenance on extraction and analysis outputs.
  • Package publishing is Changesets / bot-owned; do not publish from a human shell.
  • Never commit secrets, private documents, or customer data.

Local commands

bun install --frozen-lockfile
bun run typecheck
bun run test
bun run check
bun run build
bun run docs:build
bun test test/project-control.test.ts
bun run check:ts-production-absence

Validation notes

  • Prefer the narrowest affected check before full workspace runs.
  • Report layers honestly: local diff · trunk land · package publish · registry readback (do not collapse).
  • Do not claim release or adoption completion while residual TS, version skew, trunk CI, registry, or clean-install gaps remain open.

Backend false-authority fence

If this repository has completed a Rust backend cutover:

  1. Production backend behavior authority is the Rust crate/binary path declared in package bin / native optional packages / Docker ENTRYPOINT when present.
  2. Residual TypeScript service trees or alternate TS engines are not product authority unless explicitly proven still on the live path.
  3. Do not "fix production" by editing residual TypeScript and assuming deploy/runtime will pick it up.
  4. Prefer deleting residual TS backend trees after sole-Rust proof; keep history in Git.
  5. Intentional TypeScript packaging wrappers and native-binding surfaces may remain.

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.
