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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00179 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00072 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00036 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00018 |
Grade A, and why
tools 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 1mo 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
MCP Tools
All tools defined in src/index.ts using Zod schemas.
Key Principles
- Workspace ID resolution: When users provide names, call
list_workspaces/list_tasksto resolve IDs — never say "name not supported" - Multi-step workflows: Creating tasks requires workspace → statuses/lists → create
- Data relationships: Workspaces contain Lists, Labels, Statuses, Tasks; Lists optionally in Folders
Maintenance
When arca-server v1 API changes (new endpoints, fields, resources):
- Update corresponding tool definitions and Zod schemas
- Update
SERVER_INSTRUCTIONSstring if workflow guidance changes - Update
arca-docs/api-reference/documentation
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.

tools is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository gredevelopment/arca-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed ISC. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 179 tokens. 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.
