vscode-winccoa-mcp-server: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

vscode-winccoa-mcp-server copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from winccoa-tools-pack/vscode-winccoa-mcp-server. It costs 4,213 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A VS Code extension that detects the selected WinCC OA project and sets up an MCP server for it, then connects that server to GitHub Copilot. WinCC OA is software for building and operating industrial control systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a WinCC OA project for AI-assisted development, create its server configuration, start the server, and keep the setup connected to the selected project.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of downloading the server, installing dependencies, creating credentials, building it, and editing Copilot settings.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is winccoa-tools-pack/vscode-winccoa-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on vscode-winccoa-mcp-server 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 vscode-winccoa-mcp-server 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 B, and why

vscode-winccoa-mcp-server copilot-instructions.md scanned grade B 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 7d 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

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.
