A set of rules for managing handoffs between AI agents, including signed certificates that define the task scope and expiry.

Use it to issue, verify, revoke, and list active handoff certificates between agents.

It helps prevent one agent from taking over work it was not authorised to do when tasks cross trust boundaries.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00164	$0.00164
Opus 5.5	$0.00066	$0.00066
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00033	$0.00033
Haiku 4.5	$0.00016	$0.00016

Security

Grade A, and why

cursorrules 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 2mo 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

Agent Handoff Certified MCP - Auto-trigger Rules

When the user asks about agent-to-agent handoff, conversation delegation between agents, signed handoff certificates, or preventing scope creep across trust boundaries, use agent-handoff-certified-mcp tools:

issue_handoff_cert: Create signed cert for agent A → B handoff (scope + expiry)
verify_handoff_cert: Validate a handoff cert before agent B accepts task
revoke_handoff_cert: Cancel a still-active handoff
list_active_handoffs: View all open handoffs in your fleet

Install: pip install agent-handoff-certified-mcp

Required for enterprises where agents cross trust boundaries (mid-market up). Prevents "agent B silently picks up task outside its authorisation."

Changes

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.
