tmdb-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/live-audit/SKILL.md

live-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Grinv/tmdb-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,038 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-specific playbook for testing the published tmdb-mcp package, an MCP server that provides tools related to TMDB, a movie and TV database.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for health checks, smoke tests, bug hunts, and repeat testing of the published package.
Why use it?
It gives agents a repeatable way to find real bugs and edge cases by using the live tools as a downstream user would.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is Grinv/tmdb-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on tmdb-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything tmdb-mcp configures →

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

live-audit 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 7d 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.

live-audit — tmdb-mcp health check + edge-case hunt

Repo-specific playbook, for any agent/model working on this repo (not tied to a particular harness — see AGENTS.md's own framing). Use it when asked to test/audit/smoke-test the published tmdb-mcp package, hunt for bugs or edge cases, or repeat "the same kind of testing as before."

Goal: find real bugs/inaccuracies in the currently published tmdb-mcp package (not just "does it build") by actually calling its live MCP tools the way a downstream agent would, then fixing what's found. Read AGENTS.md first if it's not already in context — every fix and every CHANGELOG entry must follow its conventions (.strict() schemas, shaper/schema 1:1, description style, commit author/no-Co-Authored-By, etc.).

This assumes the server is already reachable as an MCP connection in your current session (however your harness exposes that — e.g. as mcp__tmdb__* tools in Claude Code). If it isn't connected, connect it first (see README.md's client-setup section) rather than skipping straight to step 1.

Hard rule — do not skip ahead: if your harness has a task/todo tool, create one task per numbered step below (0-5) plus one per bullet under step 2's checklist and step 3's list, before doing anything else, and mark each complete only when actually done. The failure mode this guards against is real: finding a bug mid-step-2 and immediately jumping to fix it, leaving step 3 (docs/metadata consistency) half-done and unreported. Step 3 is not optional polish — a real fix from step 2 routinely has stale echoes elsewhere (a tool's own .describe() text repeating an old constant, manifest.json's hand-maintained tools/prompts copy per docs/releasing.md, a comment in docs/*.md) that step 2 alone will never surface. A fix isn't done until every one of its echoes is updated too — finish step 3 in full before step 4's report, every single time.

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.

live-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository Grinv/tmdb-mcp (4 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,038 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
