arcade

arcade is a cursor rule for Cursor from arcadeai-labs/omnimcp. It costs 340 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing rule that tells an agent to prefer Arcade, a gateway for external service tools. It also defines what to do when authentication, permissions, or the gateway itself fails.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when choosing a gateway for service tasks and when handling setup, authentication, permission, or fallback decisions.
Why use it?
It prevents the agent from silently bypassing a sign-in or permission problem by switching to an unauthorised connection.

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

arcade 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 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.

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

Gateway: Arcade is connected as the "arcade" MCP server at api.arcade.dev. It may appear as plugin-arcade-arcade. That is the same gateway. Prefer arcade. Authentication: A gateway showing needsAuth or a plugin namespace with zero tools needs authentication in this host's MCP settings. A missing, unavailable, or failing gateway needs setup or connection repair. If blocked: For authentication, stop and ask the user to authenticate; do not poll. For permission denial, stop and ask the user to resolve it. Do not bypass either by switching gateways or tools. For other failures, report the error, advise checking plugin and MCP settings for setup or connection failures, then apply fallback. Fallback: If the arcade server cannot finish, the parent may use another already-authorized Arcade gateway or other available tools within the authorized task. Discover tools on each gateway; never reuse another gateway's query IDs. Do not broaden authorization or copy secrets, credentials, or user sessions. On another gateway, confirm the intended app account with the app's who-am-I tool. Write only through a confirmed account, and name the source account for reads. If you can't, ask the user. Routing: Use try-arcade first for external app tasks (email, calendar, chat, docs, issues, CRM); use scale-arcade for team or org rollout. Delegate bounded app tasks to arcade-operator when available. Privacy: Keep tool discovery and tool names out of the conversation.

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.
