osm-edit-safety

osm-edit-safety is a cursor rule for Cursor from skywinder/osm-edit-mcp. It costs 815 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Safety rules for an OpenStreetMap editing server. OpenStreetMap is a collaborative map database whose records can be changed through an API.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when creating or changing map data, handling OAuth credentials, modifying repository history, publishing packages, or creating releases.
Why use it?
They prevent irreversible map, repository, credential, and publishing actions from happening without the user's approval.

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

osm-edit-safety 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 3d 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.

OSM Edit MCP Server - Safety and Development Rules

⚠️ CRITICAL: Ask Before Irreversible Operations

ALWAYS ask the user before performing these irreversible operations:

OpenStreetMap Operations

  • Creating or closing changesets via OSM API
  • Uploading nodes, ways, or relations to OSM
  • Modifying existing OSM map data
  • Deleting OSM elements
  • Making any calls to api.openstreetmap.org endpoints that modify data
  • Testing with real OSM data (suggest using dev.openstreetmap.org instead)

Authentication & Credentials

  • Revoking or modifying OAuth tokens
  • Changing OAuth application settings
  • Exposing credentials in code or commits
  • Modifying .env file with real credentials

Repository Operations

  • Force pushing to git repository
  • Deleting git history or branches
  • Publishing package to PyPI
  • Creating GitHub releases

Project Structure

Core Files

Configuration

  • .env - NEVER commit - Contains real OAuth credentials
  • .env.example - Template for environment variables
  • .gitignore - Protects sensitive files from git

Documentation

  • README.md - Comprehensive setup and usage guide

Development Safety Guidelines

1. Testing Environment

  • ALWAYS use dev.openstreetmap.org for testing, not production API
  • Set OSM_USE_DEV_API=true and use the allowlisted development target
  • Verify API base URL before any write operations

2. OAuth Security

  • Keep client secrets in .env file only
  • Use keyring for persistent token storage
  • Reauthorize expired tokens without exposing callback URLs or token data
  • Never log full OAuth tokens

3. Error Handling

  • Implement comprehensive error handling for OSM API responses
  • Validate all input data before sending to OSM
  • Handle rate limiting (max 10,000 API calls per hour)
  • Gracefully handle network failures

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.
