tlsradar-claude-plugin: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

tlsradar-claude-plugin CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from TLS-Radar/tlsradar-claude-plugin. It costs 9,562 tokens per session, scanned D, original, MIT.

A project guide for coding agents working with the TLS Radar plugin, including its purpose, layout, and certificate-monitoring flow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or maintaining the TLS Radar plugin, especially around scanning domains, issuing certificates, and connecting certificates to monitoring.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the background needed to navigate and change the plugin without first piecing together its architecture.

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 D, and why

tlsradar-claude-plugin CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 3 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 8d 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.

Reads MCP configurationmediumAgent snooping

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

- **Anonymous attribution does NOT use an env var or header.** The `scan`/`create_certificate` commands mint `~/.config/tlsradar/install_id` (there is no hook - Round 8), read that file, and pass it as the `client_id` ar

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

**Shell-injection boundary (0.6.1, PR review follow-up).** Validating inside Python isn't enough if the *caller* pastes `record.name`/`record.value` into a Bash command - shell expansion of `$(...)`/backticks/`;` happens

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Plugin context for future coding agents

If you're a Claude Code (or other AI) instance working in this repo, this file is the fastest way to get your bearings. Read it first.

What this plugin is for

It's the free, top-of-funnel entry point to TLS Radar: give developers genuinely useful free tools (scanning, Let's Encrypt issuance) with no account, and offer the people who want it an easy path into ongoing monitoring. Design choices that matter:

  • Free anonymous scans and free Beacon cert issuance let users try the plugin without an account - low friction is the whole point.
  • When a cert is issued, the optional cert → monitoring handoff is what turns a one-off Beacon user into a TLS Radar monitoring user (with the user's knowledge - the email's dual use is disclosed at collection, marketing stays opt-in).
  • Hitting the free monitor cap surfaces a friendly upgrade suggestion (Starter, ~$10/mo) - server-gated, shown once, never pushy, with the actual price coming from the server payload (see the funnel-etiquette rules in skills/certificate-monitoring/SKILL.md).

When you change something, keep the experience low-friction and honest: useful free tools first, conversion as a side effect of value delivered, never a dark pattern. Don't add friction at install, login, or cap-hit.

Architecture in one paragraph

There is no binary. The plugin is pure configuration + Markdown. Claude Code's MCP client talks to one remote MCP server - tlsradar.com/api/v1/mcp. Certificate issuance is proxied server-side through that server to Beacon (beacon.tlsradar.com), so the plugin holds a single connection and a single auth model. Public tools (scan, cert_*) need no auth; everything else uses Claude Code's built-in OAuth 2.0 + PKCE flow via /mcp (the plugin registers dynamically, RFC 7591, the first time the user runs /mcp). There is no client-facing Beacon connection and no BEACON_PLUGIN_TOKEN anymore - TLS Radar's Beacon::Client calls Beacon's REST API server-to-server with the (intentionally public) token it already holds.

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.

tlsradar-claude-plugin CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository TLS-Radar/tlsradar-claude-plugin (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9,562 tokens to every session, about $0.0478 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (reads mcp configuration, recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
