mcp

A rule set for an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets an AI assistant ask the user for confirmation before finishing or when it has questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to require user confirmation, handle special prompts beginning with /tk, and get approval before changing code, files, or adding features.
Why use it?
It prevents the assistant from making unapproved changes or ending with unresolved questions. It also keeps requests for extra features separate from the work explicitly requested.

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.

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

mcp 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

  • Must Call the askme-cli.ask_me tool before ending any user prompt every time.
  • All prompts starting with /tk, don’t modify code or files, and call the askme-cli.ask_me tool before ending.
  • When you have questions, always call the askme-cli.ask_me tool before ending.
  • Only complete what the prompt asks. Don’t add or change functions without my approval.
  • If you have ideas for new features or changes, explain them clearly, analyze their feasibility, and ask if I want to proceed.
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.
