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

mattermost-channel-messaging 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 10d 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.

Mattermost Channel Messaging

Domain-typed access to Mattermost posts and files for reading and writing channel conversation. Prefer these tools over raw HTTP — they carry the post field conventions and return post-shaped records.

When to use

  • Read the recent posts of a channel, or a full thread from a root post.
  • Search for a message across a team.
  • Create a post, or reply within a thread (root_id).
  • Read/attach files on a post.

When NOT to use

  • Create, rename, archive, or set channel privacy → mattermost-team-administration.
  • Add/remove channel or team members → mattermost-team-administration.
  • Push messages/channels into the knowledge graph → mattermost-kg-ingestion.

Prerequisites & environment

Connect via the mcp-client skill against the mattermost-mcp MCP server.

Variable Required Notes
MATTERMOST_URL Server base URL (alias MATTERMOST_MCP_BASE_URL)
MATTERMOST_TOKEN ✅* Personal-access / bot token
MATTERMOST_MCP_USERNAME / MATTERMOST_MCP_PASSWORD ✅* Login fallback if no token
MATTERMOST_MCP_SSL_VERIFY optional TLS verification toggle

*Provide either a token or username+password. MCP_TOOL_MODE (condensed|verbose|both) selects the condensed surface used below vs. the one-to-one verbose tools.

Tools & actions

Prefer the condensed tools; each takes action + a params_json JSON string whose keys are passed straight to the client method.

Condensed tool Key actions
mattermost_mcp_posts get_posts_for_channel, get_post, get_post_thread, create_post, search_posts, pin_post, get_file_infos_for_post
mattermost_mcp_files get_file, get_file_info, upload_file

Key parameters

  • channel_id — required for get_posts_for_channel.
  • post_id — required for get_post / get_post_thread.
  • team_id — required for search_posts.
  • create_post body: channel_id, message, optional root_id (thread reply), optional file_ids.

Changes

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.
