At a glance

Inspects OmniRoute's MCP server status, lists its tools and scopes, invokes a tool directly, and manages its audit logs.

  • Checking whether OmniRoute's MCP server is enabled and reachable
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Quick install and Subcommands
  • Calls npm
  • Invoking a specific MCP tool directly for testing

What it does

The omniroute mcp command group is covered: checking server status, restarting it, enabling or disabling it with a chosen transport, calling a named tool with JSON arguments from an argument or file and an optional scope, and listing which scopes a given tool requires. It is the operational counterpart to using MCP tools inside a session: a way to audit and exercise the MCP server itself from outside it.

When your agent uses it

  • Checking whether OmniRoute's MCP server is enabled and reachable
  • Invoking a specific MCP tool directly for testing
  • Auditing which scopes a registered MCP tool requires

Example prompts

  • “Show the MCP server status and its enabled transport.”
  • “Call the file-search MCP tool with this JSON argument file.”
  • “List the scopes required by the database-query tool.”

Requirements

  • OmniRoute CLI (`npm install -g omniroute`)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ad6b1c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

OmniRoute MCP CLI loads about 305 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 71 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~305

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
