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

rm-mcp copilot-instructions.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.

Copilot Instructions for rm-mcp

Project Overview

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides access to reMarkable tablet data. It's a Python project using FastMCP.

Git Workflow

Always work on feature branches and submit PRs. Never push directly to main.

# Create a feature branch
git checkout -b feature/my-feature

# After making changes, push and create PR
git push origin feature/my-feature
# Then create PR via GitHub

Branch protection is enabled on main - all changes must go through pull requests with passing CI checks.

Package Management

Always use uv for all package management operations.

# Install dependencies
uv sync

# Install with dev dependencies
uv sync --extra dev

# Add a new dependency
uv add <package>

# Add a dev dependency
uv add --dev <package>

Never use:

  • pip install directly
  • pip freeze
  • poetry

Running Tests

Always run tests with:

uv run pytest test_server.py -v

For specific test patterns:

# Run specific test class
uv run pytest test_server.py -v -k "TestClassName"

# Run with coverage
uv run pytest test_server.py -v --cov=server

# Skip slow tests if any
uv run pytest test_server.py -v -m "not slow"

Important: Tests use pytest-asyncio for async testing. All async tests should use the @pytest.mark.asyncio decorator.

Building & Running

# Run the MCP server directly
uv run python server.py

# Interactive setup (one-time)
uv run python server.py --setup

# Run as installed package
uv run rm-mcp

Code Quality

Before committing, always run:

# 1. Lint code (REQUIRED - CI will fail without this)
uv run ruff check .

# 2. Check formatting (REQUIRED - CI will fail without this)
uv run ruff format --check .

# 3. Run tests (REQUIRED - CI will fail without this)
uv run pytest test_server.py -v

Fix issues automatically:

# Fix lint issues
uv run ruff check . --fix

# Fix formatting
uv run ruff format .

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.
