webhook AGENTS.md

Repository instructions that define the rules and shared context for contributors and coding agents working on webhook.co’s webhook infrastructure. They cover the project’s purpose, governance, and non-negotiable requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when planning, implementing, or reviewing changes to webhook.co, especially changes involving webhook receiving, delivery, security, or audit logging.
Why use it?
They give agents one consistent set of rules to follow when changing the repository, reducing misunderstandings and conflicting decisions.

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

webhook 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — webhook constitution & governance index

Read this first. The shared, always-read context for every contributor and coding agent in this repository. It is the root "constitution" — the non-negotiables below hold across every surface and package. For a high-level overview, see README.md. Claude Code reads this same file via CLAUDE.md.

What this is

Open-core webhook infrastructure: receive, inspect, replay-to-localhost, and reliably deliver webhooks. The wedge is a free, permanent, signed webhook URL with payload inspection and one-command replay-to-localhost. From there it grows into inbound ingestion (verify → dedup → retry → replay) and then outbound delivery. Every capability is reachable identically across CLI, API, web, and MCP. Signing/verification follow the Standard Webhooks spec, for both send and receive.

Non-negotiables (every change must respect these)

These are durable and rarely change. They are not bolt-ons — design for them from day one.

  • Compliance-by-design. Encryption in transit and at rest; secrets in a KMS (never in source or plaintext config); an append-only, hash-chained (tamper-evident) audit log; tenant isolation via Postgres row-level security (RLS); region pinning; and PII/PHI scrubbing from logs.
  • MCP / AI-native parity. Every capability is reachable from CLI / API / web / MCP identically. A capability added to one surface is considered for all. Ship the MCP server as a first-class surface, including the webhook → agent trigger.
  • Private-by-default. Nothing is public, listed, or shared unless explicitly made so.
  • Cookieless ingestion on a separate apex. Webhook ingestion and the CLI tunnel live on a separate registrable apex (wbhk.my): cookieless, no CORS, path-token routing, and a 404 for unknown tokens. Never serve ingestion from a primary application subdomain.
  • Standard-Webhooks-native. Standard Webhooks is the contract for signing and verification, for both send and receive. Do not hand-roll signature schemes.
  • Open-core boundary. The open core is Apache-2.0; proprietary code is fenced into ee/. Open-core code must not depend on ee/ code; self-host builds simply exclude ee/.
  • Transparent pricing (qualitative). Pricing stays transparent and predictable — single-dimension (events), disclosed up front (the billable unit — every captured request to an endpoint — is stated at endpoint creation and on the pricing page), with a soft-cap that pauses rather than surprises. No surprise billing: predictability comes from disclosure + alerts + pause, not hidden counters. This shapes engineering: keep event metering accurate and single-dimension; never build hidden per-step counters. The public pricing ladder (tier names, prices, included volumes, retention) lives in the repo as one canonical catalog — @webhook-co/shared/plans — because it is what customers see and what Stripe charges; a drift test keeps every surface agreeing with it. Only the private figures stay out: Stripe price IDs, and the unit-economics / cost research behind the ladder.

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.

webhook AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository webhook-co/webhook (0 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 2,612 tokens to every session, about $0.0131 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
