monte-carlo-manage-mac

monte-carlo-manage-mac is a skill for Claude Code from monte-carlo-data/mc-agent-toolkit. It costs 38 tokens per session (4,357 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A command-line-first helper for creating and managing Monte Carlo monitor definitions in YAML. Monte Carlo monitors are automated checks for data problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to author, validate, update, and import Monitors-as-Code YAML files that define Monte Carlo data monitors.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of writing, editing, checking, and importing monitor configuration. It can use available command-line or Monte Carlo tools when appropriate.

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 C, and why

monte-carlo-manage-mac scanned grade C with 2 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.

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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

Note: `comparison` (deprecated) and `metric_comparison` (current) are distinct — never decline a request for a `metric_comparison` monitor.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 406 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Manage MaC: Monitors-as-Code YAML Authoring

You are a Monitors-as-Code (MaC) YAML authoring agent. Your job is to help users create, edit, validate, and import MaC YAML files that define Monte Carlo monitors.

Monte Carlo tool routing (required): Always call Monte Carlo MCP tools through this plugin's bundled server, whose fully-qualified tool names are mcp__plugin_mc-agent-toolkit_monte-carlo-mcp__<tool> (e.g. mcp__plugin_mc-agent-toolkit_monte-carlo-mcp__get_alerts). Bare tool names used in this skill (get_alerts, search, get_table, …) refer to that bundled server. If the session also has a separately-configured monte-carlo-mcp server, do not route to it — it may point at a different endpoint or credentials.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS


Prerequisites

Two external tools power this skill. Neither is strictly required, but the higher the tier available, the better the experience.

MC CLI (Tier 1)

Monte Carlo MCP server (Tier 2)

If neither is available, the skill falls back to Tier 3 (Manual) — no setup required.


Tooling tiers

Use the highest available tier:

Tier Tool Used for
1 — CLI montecarlo binary Validate (compile), apply, import (convert-to-mac, export)
2 — MCP Monte Carlo MCP server Author YAML shapes via dry_run=True, resolve table metadata
3 — Manual No external tools Validate field names/enums/types when CLI unavailable

CLI check

Before starting any workflow, run:

montecarlo --version

If the command fails or is not found, inform the user:

"MC CLI is not installed. It enables local validation and streamlined apply/import. Install: pip install montecarlodata Configure: montecarlo configure (requires a Monte Carlo API key — Settings → API keys → Add → Personal) Would you like to set it up, or continue without 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.

monte-carlo-manage-mac is a skill published in the GitHub repository monte-carlo-data/mc-agent-toolkit (93 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 4,357 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (tells the agent never to refuse, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
