2native-ssh-mcp-agent

2native-ssh-mcp-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from daidaiJ/2native-ssh-mcp. It costs 63 tokens per session (2,081 once invoked), scanned B, original, ISC.

A safety guide for AI agents that use 2native-ssh-mcp to connect to remote servers and run commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose the right server connection, use low-privilege accounts, limit large outputs, manage sessions, and handle rejected commands or host-key errors safely.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unsafe production changes, excessive command output, credential exposure, and attempts to bypass server security 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 B, and why

2native-ssh-mcp-agent scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 22d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

2native-ssh-mcp-agent

Defensive playbook for agents using 2native-ssh-mcp. Read this before executing on production hosts.

Golden rules

  1. Call list-servers first — read metadata, aliases, notes; pick connectionName or plan a sessionName. A via=<name> label means the host is only reachable through that jump-host connection — no direct TCP path exists, and jump-host failures name it.
  2. Always pass connectionName explicitly — taken from list-servers. Omitting it only works when a connection named default exists (marked default=true in list-servers); otherwise the call fails. Never guess a connection: running on the wrong host is worse than a failed call.
  3. Never use root — use a dedicated low-privilege account.
  4. Prefer narrow commands — scope with head, tail, grep, wc, paths; avoid blind cat on large files.
  5. Respect whitelist/blacklist — if a command is rejected, do not bypass; ask the operator to widen policy.
  6. Secrets — redaction is off by default ("redactSecrets": true enables it per connection); regardless, avoid printing credentials.
  7. Host key rejection — if a connection fails with a host key mismatch (server reimaged / key rotated), do not bypass; report it. Fix is operator-side: remove the stale line from known_hosts (or set "hostKeyCheck": "none" for dynamic-IP hosts).
  8. Assume everything is recorded — executed commands land in a per-connection append-only, hash-chained audit log (failures included); act accordingly on production hosts.

Output & tokens

Built-in (automatic)

2native-ssh-mcp layers large output automatically:

  • Directories transfer recursively via file-transfer (per-file atomic upload, files/failed in the result; single files get a sha256 check).
  • ≥ 8KB (outputSpillThreshold, -1 disables): the full output is written to a local file (default .ssh-mcp-out/, outputSpillDir configurable, newest 32 kept). The result carries only a short notice, the absolute path, byte/line counts and a ~12-line preview. Grep/Read that local file — never re-run the command or cat it remotely.
  • 4–8KB: light compression — head + tail lines, middle replaced with ... [N lines omitted] ..., duplicate/blank lines collapsed.
  • Disable compression per connection: "outputCompressLight": false; tune threshold: "outputCompressThreshold": 8192.

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.
