Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00232 | $0.00232 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00116 | $0.00116 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00046 | $0.00046 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-tool-usage 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 5d 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.
What it actually says
description: Mandatory MCP Tool Usage Requirements globs: alwaysApply: true
Think MCP (PRIMARY THINKING TOOL)
- Use for ALL analysis tasks, debugging, troubleshooting, complex problem-solving, and project planning
- Structure thoughts in a logical progression:
- Begin with problem definition and context assessment
- Analyze alternatives and trade-offs
- Conclude with concrete action plans
- Record all reasoning processes to maintain decision history
- Use for multi-step problem decomposition
- Recall previous thoughts when needed for context
Sequential Thinking MCP (SECONDARY TOOL)
- Only use when explicitly requested by user
- Do not use if Think MCP has already been applied to the same problem
- Ensure there's no collision between Think and Sequential Thinking tools
Web Search Tools
- Use Brave Search for general programming questions, error messages, documentation
- Use Tavily Search for specialized technical content, library-specific information
- Focus queries on specific technical terms and include version information
- Report found information with sources
- Combine with Think MCP to refine solutions based on research
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.

mcp-tool-usage is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository AojdevStudio/open-dental-mcp (3 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 232 tokens to every session, about $0.0012 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
