security

security is a cursor rule for Cursor from mhmdreza-rafiei/agent-tools. It costs 21 tokens per session (394 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of security rules for handling untrusted input, authentication, secrets, and injection risks in software.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides validation at trust boundaries, secret handling, token and password security, authorization checks, and parameterized queries.
Why use it?
It reduces common security failures such as leaked credentials, unsafe queries, weak password storage, and missing input checks.

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

security 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 7d 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

Security

Applies when the change touches auth, input parsing, secrets, or a trust boundary. Load for login, payment, file upload, external API calls, migrations of credential stores. Not every chat.

Trust boundaries

  • Every input from outside the process (HTTP, CLI args, files, env, queue messages) is untrusted. Validate at the boundary; never carry untrusted data into the core.
  • Validate type, length, format, and ranges. Reject early; fail closed.
  • Auth checks happen at the edge, not deep in the core. The core assumes the caller is authorized.

Secrets

  • Never hardcode secrets. Read from env / secret manager.
  • Never log secrets (tokens, passwords, API keys, PII). Redact before logging; assume the log is public.
  • .env and credential files are never committed. If you see one staged, unstage and warn the user.

Auth

  • Hash passwords with a slow KDF (argon2, bcrypt, scrypt). Never MD5/SHA for passwords.
  • Tokens: short-lived, scoped, revocable. Rotate via refresh, not long-lived access tokens.
  • Constant-time comparison for tokens / hashes. No early-return on mismatch.

Injection

  • Parameterize queries. No string-built SQL / shell / LDAP.
  • Escape at the output boundary (HTML, URL, JS) — not by hand-rolling.

Do not

  • Roll your own crypto. Use the stdlib / audited library.
  • Trust client-side validation. The server re-validates everything.
  • Ship a secret in a URL / query param (it gets logged).

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.

security is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository mhmdreza-rafiei/agent-tools (5 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 394 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
