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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00033 | $0.02219 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.01110 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00444 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00222 |
Grade D, and why
ssh-mcp-ops scanned grade D with 3 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
sudo systemctl restart sshd Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation
SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.
ssh_generate_key, key_type=rsa, key_size=4096, save_path=~/.ssh/id_rsa Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

SSH MCP Operations Guide
Tool Calling Priority
When executing server operations, tools must be called in the following priority order:
1️⃣ MCP Tools (ssh_connect, ssh_execute, etc.) ← Always use first
↓ If MCP tools are unavailable/not loaded in current session
2️⃣ CLI Tool (ssh-licco exec) ← Second choice
│ Note: Use SSH_SECURITY_LEVEL=relaxed mode
│ Set SSH_EXTRA_ALLOWED_COMMANDS for non-whitelist commands
↓ If CLI tool is also not available
3️⃣ Python Paramiko Script ← Last resort
How to determine which layer to use
| Indicator | Use |
|---|---|
| MCP tools appear in your tool list | 1️⃣ MCP tools - direct invocation |
MCP tools not in tool list, but ssh-licco command works |
2️⃣ CLI - ssh-licco exec with relaxed mode |
| Neither MCP nor CLI available | 3️⃣ Python paramiko - write inline Python script |
CLI usage pattern
# Set relaxed mode to allow pipes, redirects, etc.
$env:SSH_SECURITY_LEVEL="relaxed"
# Set extra allowed commands for non-default tools
$env:SSH_EXTRA_ALLOWED_COMMANDS="pg_isready,psql"
# Execute command
ssh-licco exec --host <ip> -u <user> --password <pwd> "<command>"
7 Core Tools
| # | Tool | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ssh_connect |
Connect to SSH server (auto-reads env vars / saved config) |
| 2 | ssh_execute |
Execute commands (auto-connect, background, long tasks) |
| 3 | ssh_disconnect |
Disconnect or list active sessions |
| 4 | ssh_file_transfer |
Upload/download/list files via SFTP |
| 5 | ssh_host |
Manage server configs (list/add/remove) |
| 6 | ssh_docker |
Docker management (ps/images/build/logs) |
| 7 | ssh_generate_key |
Generate SSH key pairs |
Quick Reference
Connect (auto-login with env vars)
ssh_connect
Or with params:
ssh_connect, host=43.143.207.242, username=root, password=xxx
Or using saved config:
ssh_connect, name=production
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.

ssh-mcp-ops is a skill published in the GitHub repository Echoqili/ssh-licco (3 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 2,219 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, reaches for credential files, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
