random-number-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

random-number-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from zazencodes/random-number-mcp. It costs 829 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for a Python random-number service built with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard for connecting assistants to tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps maintain the service's server, business-logic, and validation layers, run individual or full tests, apply formatting and linting, type-check the code, start the server, and build a package.
Why use it?
It gives consistent commands and architecture guidance for installing dependencies, testing, checking, running, and packaging the service.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is zazencodes/random-number-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on random-number-mcp 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 random-number-mcp 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

random-number-mcp 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 1mo 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.

Architecture

The package is a FastMCP server with a three-layer structure:

  • server.py — FastMCP app instance and @app.tool() decorated endpoints. Handles MCP protocol concerns (e.g., JSON string weights parsing). Entry point is main().
  • tools.py — Pure Python business logic, calls random and secrets stdlib modules. No FastMCP dependency; testable in isolation.
  • utils.py — Shared validation helpers used by tools.py.

Tools fall into two categories: standard pseudorandom (random module) and cryptographically secure (secrets module).

Release Process

The Release Checklist in README.md is canonical — follow it, don't work from memory. Notes for agents:

  • The version lives in four fields across three files: pyproject.toml, src/random_number_mcp/__init__.py, and server.json (which carries it both at the top level and under packages[0]). Miss one and the release ships inconsistent metadata.
  • CHANGELOG.md is updated as part of the same commit as the version bump.
  • Release from main, with the branch merged and pushed first. Fetch before assuming local main is current — work is sometimes merged upstream via PR, so a local-only merge can leave you diverged.

Cutting the release

Always ask the maintainer for explicit confirmation before this step. Creating the release publishes to PyPI automatically via the release: published trigger in .github/workflows/publish.yml, and that is irreversible — a version can never be overwritten or reused on PyPI.

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.
