spidershield CLAUDE.md

spidershield CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from teehooai/spidershield. It costs 2,134 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for SpiderShield, a security linter that statically checks MCP servers. MCP is a standard way for AI tools to connect to external tools and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or maintaining scans for tool descriptions, security patterns, architecture quality, and software licences.
Why use it?
They explain the scanner’s architecture and constraints so changes preserve its security checks and reporting behavior.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

spidershield 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 5d 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.

SpiderShield -- MCP Server Security Linter

Project Overview

SpiderShield is a static analysis tool for MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. It scans tool descriptions, security patterns, architecture quality, and licensing. Think "npm audit for MCP tools".

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.
