github-mcp-hero

github-mcp-hero is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from runxhq/runx. It costs 28 tokens per session (122 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A test example showing how a controlled workflow can use GitHub, a code-hosting service, through a tool interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test read-only repository access, permission checks, and recorded refusals for out-of-scope GitHub changes.
Why use it?
It demonstrates that permitted reading can succeed while an attempted write, such as posting a comment, is blocked before the GitHub action runs.

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

github-mcp-hero 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (run.sh), 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

GitHub MCP Hero

This example drives a deterministic GitHub-shaped MCP fixture through the native mcp source front. The read runner grants repo.read and seals a read-only issue snapshot. The refusal runner grants the same read scope, then attempts a mutating comment step that requires repo.write; the provider-permission effect blocks it before the MCP mutation tool runs and seals a blocked graph receipt.

Files

What ships with it

10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
