mcp-utility-tools

A small utility set for basic arithmetic and for returning the current time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Doing arithmetic and getting timestamps in ISO, Unix, or human-readable form, with clear handling of missing inputs and division by zero.
Why use it?
It provides deterministic results for calculations and timestamps instead of relying on estimates or manually written values.

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-utility-tools 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 yesterday.

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

Use calculator for arithmetic and timestamp for the current time. Prefer structured tool results over the text fallback. Ask for missing calculator operands before calling the tool, never guess an operation, and report division-by-zero failures plainly. Use ISO timestamps unless the user requests Unix or human-readable output.

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.
