deprecated

A reminder about software modules and programming practices that are deprecated, meaning they are discouraged and may be removed later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working with UTC dates in Python or deciding how to manage deprecation warnings that cannot yet be fixed.
Why use it?
It helps prevent new code from relying on outdated APIs and gives guidance for handling deprecation warnings.

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.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 7 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 110 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

deprecated 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

This is a reminder on deprecated modules you should be careful about.

Datetime

datetime.datetime.utcnow() is deprecated. Use timezone-aware objects to represent datetimes in UTC.

Example:

from datetime import datetime, timezone

print(datetime.now(timezone.utc))

Deprecation Warnings

Deprecation warnings are a pain to deal with, if they cannot be dealt with in the codebase, please use pytest.ini to ignore them.

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.

deprecated is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Edison-Watch/Custom-MCPs (0 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 110 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
