smcp-status

smcp-status is a skill for Claude Code from Heretyc/subagent-mcp. It costs 69 tokens per session (902 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A live status report for subagent-mcp, the service that routes work to supporting agents. It displays connected providers, launched-agent count, session time, recent routing decisions, and swarm state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check which providers are active, how many agents have launched, when the session started, recent routing, and whether a swarm is running.
Why use it?
It shows the current routing and agent state from the running service instead of relying on saved or outdated information.

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

smcp-status 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

subagent-mcp Status

When triggered, call the get_status MCP tool and present its live session state. Use only what get_status returns. Do not read state files, guess, or cache: the numbers come from the running MCP server's in-memory state, so a fresh call each time is the single source of truth. If the get_status tool is not available, say the subagent-mcp MCP server is not connected in this session and point the user at the /smcp:doctor skill.

Data source

get_status returns a JSON object with these fields:

  • providers_loaded - array of provider names parsed from providers.jsonc at server start.
  • agent_count - number of agents launched since this server process started.
  • session_start_time - ISO timestamp of the MCP server process boot (may be null), used to compute uptime.
  • last_routing_decisions - array of { category, provider, timestamp, elapsed_ms }, most recent last, capped at the last 10.
  • swarm - agentic-swarm session snapshot: { active, current_stage, stage_name, pin_active, pin_expires_at }. When active is false all other swarm fields are null or false.

Presentation (E1-standardized)

Render uniform, one-item-per-line, plain-ASCII output. No smart quotes, no emoji, no tables. Use this exact shape:

subagent-mcp status
providers_loaded (N): name1, name2, ...
agent_count: K (since session start)
last routing decisions (most recent last):
  1. category=<category> provider=<provider> elapsed_ms=<n>
  2. category=<category> provider=<provider> elapsed_ms=<n>
  3. category=<category> provider=<provider> elapsed_ms=<n>

Rules for filling it in:

  • providers_loaded: print the count then the comma-separated names. If the array is empty, print providers_loaded (0): none loaded. If you can determine reachability (for example from a recent /smcp:doctor run in this conversation), add a short parenthetical note per provider such as (reachable) or (unreachable); otherwise omit the note rather than guessing - get_status alone does not probe reachability.
  • agent_count: print the integer verbatim. When session_start_time is present you may add uptime, for example agent_count: 4 (since session start, up 12m); if it is null, just print the count.
  • last routing decisions: show the last 3 entries from last_routing_decisions (the 3 most recent). Number them 1-3 with the oldest of the three first and the newest last. If fewer than 3 exist, show what is there. If the array is empty, print last routing decisions: none yet.

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.
