What is mcp-pandoc AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions and navigation notes for mcp-pandoc, a server that uses Pandoc to convert documents between formats. AGENTS.md points agents to the detailed rules, source files, commands, and public tool interface.

Use it to understand the mcp-pandoc codebase, find its main server and tool definitions, follow its contribution rules, and locate documentation about testing and reviews.

It gives coding agents the context they need before changing an unfamiliar repository. It also identifies which files define the conversion behavior, parameters, and error handling.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01019	$0.01019
Opus 5.5	$0.00408	$0.00408
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00204	$0.00204
Haiku 4.5	$0.00102	$0.00102

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-pandoc 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Map of this repo. Start here, then navigate to the source of truth you need.

Keep this file thin. It is loaded into context on every task, so it points at detail rather than containing it. If you are adding rules, they belong in the linked docs, not here.

CLAUDE.md is the standards document behind every review here: semantic versioning policy, the documentation checklist, test organisation, and the PR review framework. Claude Code loads it automatically. If you are any other agent, read it explicitly. You will be held to it either way.

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.
