Use when the user is WIRING CUB-SCOUT INTO AN AI AGENT (Claude / Codex / a custom LLM workflow) and needs the patterns for read-only context, MCP gateway tools, deterministic context snapshots, and the prompt-shape that makes cub-scout''s output reliable for LLMs. Natural phrasing: "set up cub-scout as a Claude tool", "expose cub-scout to my agent over MCP", "give the LLM a deterministic snapshot of this cluster", "what cub-scout patterns work well for AI agents?…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ai-agent-readonly-context

The agent-integration loop. The user is wiring cub-scout into an AI agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Continue, a custom MCP-aware LLM — and needs the patterns that make cub-scout's output reliable for LLMs.

Three patterns matter here, plus the prompt shape that ties them together:

1. **MCP gateway** (`mcp serve`) — long-running tool surface the agent calls live
2. **context-pack** (`context-pack --format json`) — deterministic one-shot snapshot the agent reasons over
3. **`--presentation ai`** — output format with bracket notation + uppercase markers that LLMs parse reliably

Plus the read-only invariant: every cub-scout tool an agent can call is **categorically non-mutating**. cub-scout is the safest possible AI surface because the worst-case prompt-injection still can't apply / edit / delete anything.

## When to use

Explicit phrasings:

- "Set up cub-scout as a Claude tool"
- "Expose cub-scout to my agent over MCP"
- "Give the LLM a deterministic snapshot of this cluster"
- "What cub-scout patterns work well for AI agents?"
- "MCP config for cub-scout in Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Continue"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add confighub/cub-scout/ai-agent-readonly-context@sha256:970a3762ef81d283

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.81f7574, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
