ai: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

ai AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from uptimerobot/ai. It costs 6,735 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository guide for UptimeRobot, a service that checks websites, APIs, servers, DNS, and other services and reports when they go down.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, inspect, and control monitors, configure alert destinations, review downtime incidents, label monitors, and schedule periods when alerts are suppressed.
Why use it?
It explains the service’s monitors, incidents, alerts, tags, and maintenance windows so an agent can manage monitoring correctly.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

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

ai AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

AGENTS.md — UptimeRobot

Orientation for coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Aider, etc.) that need to create, inspect, or control UptimeRobot monitors on a user's behalf.

What UptimeRobot is

UptimeRobot monitors websites, APIs, servers, DNS, and services. It probes each target on an interval (15s–24h, heartbeats up to 31 days; the plan sets the actual minimum), records up/down state plus response times, opens incidents on downtime, and fires alerts (email, SMS, webhooks, Slack, etc.) through alert contacts.

Key entities:

  • Monitor — one probe against one target. Has a type (HTTP, KEYWORD, PING, PORT, HEARTBEAT, DNS, API, UDP), a URL/host, an interval, and a status (e.g. UP, DOWN, PAUSED).
  • Incident — a downtime event (or a slow-response / visual-change event — filter on type: "Downtime" for outages). Opens when a monitor goes down, closes when it recovers. get-incident-details returns requestLogs (per-check request/response data) and the readable reason; get-incident-activity-log status entries carry the checker's remoteNode (IP, city, country).
  • Alert contact — a notification destination attached to monitors with a threshold and recurrence. Two kinds: personal alert contacts (email, Pro SMS, voice, mobile push — list-alert-contacts) and integrations (Slack, webhook, PagerDuty, etc. — list-integrations). Both supply IDs for assignedAlertContacts. list-integrations also returns the account's personal contacts, so dedupe by id and tell personal contacts apart by type (email, SMS, voice, push).
  • Tag — free-form label assigned to monitors.
  • Maintenance window — scheduled period where alerts for attached monitors are suppressed.
  • Third-party service, a tracked outside provider (cloud, payments, SaaS) whose public status page UptimeRobot watches. Not returned by list-monitors.

Plans: don't hard-code plan names (live accounts report e.g. Scale) — read activeSubscription.plan from get-user. Availability of specific monitor types and minimum intervals depends on the active plan. The MCP server enforces all limits.

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.
