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

zowe-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 2 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 today.

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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

| `npm run local-registry:wipe-publish-dev` | Wipe local MCP registry Postgres volume (`infrastructure/local-registry`), restart containers, **`mcp-publisher login none`**, publish **`packages/zowe-mcp-server/remote-serv

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

- **CLI parsing (yargs)**: The server uses **yargs** (same as Zowe Imperative) for CLI argument parsing and help. Options and subcommands are defined in `index.ts`; `-h` / `--help` and `--version` are generated by yargs.

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.
