yo

A rule that requires the assistant to send a short notification through a specific yo-mcp tool when it needs the user's input or has finished a task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to notify the user about a question, a completed task, or the next action required.
Why use it?
It gives the user a consistent signal when attention or a next decision is needed.

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

yo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to yo — 1 line differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

If you need my input to answer a question or when you finish a task and want to know what to do next you must send me a yo using the yo-mcp MCP tool.

In the yo you MUST provide ONLY a very short message (think like an email subject line) for why you need my attention / input.

Then reply with your update / question to the normal chat.

This mcp server should be called with this tool name: "mcp_yo-mcp_com_yo"

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.
