running-studio

Instructions for testing a program called studio that works as an MCP server, a service that lets an AI agent call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to list studio's available tools and test a named tool with specific inputs from the command line.
Why use it?
They show how to check which tools studio provides and how to call one, making testing more repeatable.

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

running-studio 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 2d 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

The studio binary is an MCP server. You can test it in the console like this (just don't put any explamation points):

List available tools

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --cli bin/studio echo "{{text# the string to echo}}" --method tools/list

Call a specific tool

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --cli bin/studio echo "{{text# the string to echo}}" --method tools/call --tool-name echo --tool-arg text="echo me" --tool-arg another=value2

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.
