backstage-mcp-maintenance

backstage-mcp-maintenance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Coderrob/backstage-mcp-server. It costs 35 tokens per session (439 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A maintenance guide for Backstage MCP tools, a way for AI agents to query and work with Backstage's service catalogue. It covers tracing catalogue behaviour to source code and checking client contracts, tests, and manifests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to develop or maintain Backstage MCP tools and their curated knowledge, then validate their tests and configuration files.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when changing tools that depend on Backstage catalogue data. It helps keep the implementation, generated information, and clients consistent.

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

backstage-mcp-maintenance 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 17d 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 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.
