check-mcp-json

check-mcp-json is a skill for Codex from toolsdk-ai/toolsdk-mcp-registry. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,311 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review workflow for pull requests that add package records to an MCP registry, a catalogue of tools that agents can connect to. It validates package JSON and handles approved fixes or merges.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect registry pull requests, classify contributions, repair authorized changes, and squash-merge approved submissions.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers detect invalid or duplicate registry entries without installing or running submitted packages.

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

check-mcp-json 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 15d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/preflight-merge.sh, scripts/review-pr.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Check MCP JSON

Review registry contributions by validating their package JSON without installing, executing, or probing submitted MCP packages and services. The trusted registry validator is the merge gate.

Load Repository Rules

Read these files before acting:

  • AGENTS.md
  • docs/PR_REVIEW.md
  • docs/CONTRIBUTING.md

Repository instructions and the user's latest authorization override this skill.

Safety Boundaries

  • Run the validator from a clean checkout whose HEAD equals the latest trusted base ref.
  • Never run scripts from a contributor branch.
  • Never install or execute a submitted package. Do not run make build, pnpm install, package lifecycle scripts, or a contributor-provided validation command.
  • Do not comment, close, edit, mark ready, or merge a PR until the user authorizes that action.
  • Never use --admin, --auto, or a merge method other than squash.
  • Review independent PRs in parallel. PRs with pairwise-disjoint changed paths and registry identities may submit squash merges concurrently; retry GitHub's transient Base branch was modified rejection after another merge lands.
  • Disable repository hooks for authorized commits and pushes with -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null; hooks may run repository scripts unexpectedly.

Review Workflow

For a backlog, use node scripts/batch-registry-prs.mjs review from a clean, current trusted main checkout. This uses the same validator rules and reads PR JSON through batched Git blobs; it never checks out or runs contributor code. Review registry-review/report.md and official-source links, then use node scripts/batch-registry-prs.mjs merge --approved "123 124" only for the PR numbers explicitly authorized by the user. See docs/PR_REVIEW.md for CI gates, held submissions, the manual workflow, and merge results. Keep the individual helper below for focused inspection.

  1. Refresh the trusted checkout:

    git switch main
    git fetch origin main
    git pull --ff-only origin main

What ships with it

3 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.
