AGENTS.md

centian AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from T4cceptor/centian. It costs 951 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for Centian, a Go command-line application that acts as a proxy between MCP clients and other MCP services. A proxy is an intermediary that forwards and can inspect or change requests and responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying Centian’s command-line interface, proxy connections, request processing, logging, authentication, server, or command completion features.
Why use it?
They explain the project’s purpose, source layout, and development conventions so changes fit the existing codebase.

This is T4cceptor/centian's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on centian 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 centian 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

centian 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 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.

Repository Identity & Purpose

Centian is the MCP proxy for this repository.

  • Repository owner: T4cceptor
  • Repository name: centian
  • Repository URL: https://github.com/T4cceptor/centian
  • Primary role: proxy MCP communication through a single CLI-managed endpoint
  • Core capabilities:
    • Proxy MCP communication to downstream systems
    • Log and monitor MCP requests and results
    • Process requests and responses to inspect, modify, or block them
    • Aggregate downstream systems behind one endpoint, using tool namespacing to keep them distinguishable

Project Structure & Module Organization

Centian is a Go CLI application. The executable entrypoint lives in cmd/main.go.

Basic repository structure:

  • cmd/: CLI entrypoint and top-level command wiring
  • internal/cli/: command handlers for config, logs, auth, processor, server, and completion flows
  • internal/proxy/: MCP proxy server, downstream connection handling, tool-call context, and request/response processing hooks
  • internal/logging/: log readers and shared logging helpers
  • internal/config/: config models, validation, accessors, and config-oriented CLI operations
  • internal/processor/: processor interfaces, scaffolding, and CLI processor execution support
  • internal/config/: config models, validation, persistence, config CLI operations, and import of existing MCP config files
  • internal/auth/: API key and authentication helpers
  • internal/common/: shared MCP models, auth context, utilities, and internal logging primitives
  • docs/: architecture and setup documentation
  • demo/: demo assets, configs, and supporting scripts
  • scripts/: repository scripts
  • tests/test_configs/: config fixtures and sample MCP client/server configs
  • tests/integrationtests/: end-to-end and processor integration coverage
  • build/: compiled binaries and generated artifacts

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.
