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

mcp-management 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/cli.ts, scripts/mcp-client.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 it actually says

MCP Management

Activate this skill when managing MCP server configurations or discovering capabilities.

When to Use

  • Discovering available MCP tools across servers
  • Configuring new MCP server connections
  • Troubleshooting MCP connectivity issues
  • Filtering tools for specific tasks
  • Managing multi-server environments

Configuration

MCP servers are configured in .kiro/settings/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server-name": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@package/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "API_KEY": "${ENV_VAR}" }
    }
  }
}

Rules

  • Verify server availability before execution
  • Never expose credentials in tool output
  • Use environment variables for sensitive values
  • Test tool parameters against schema before calling
  • Handle timeouts and connection failures gracefully

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.
