## Agent autosetup

Connect the hosted server with the name `barvinca` and begin with the read-only `barvinca.read` scope.

```bash
codex mcp add barvinca --url https://mcp.barvinca.com/mcp
codex mcp login barvinca --scopes barvinca.read
codex mcp get barvinca
```

Available scope families are `barvinca.read`, `barvinca.issues.read`, `barvinca.rfis.read`, `barvinca.assets.read`, `barvinca.submittals.read`, `barvinca.forms.read`, and `barvinca.write`. Request broader scopes only when the user's task requires them and the user approves.

## Agent rules

- Do not ask the user for Autodesk tokens, APS client secrets, or Barvinca credentials. Use MCP OAuth.
- Verify the connection with a read-only status or tool-list check before attempting work.
- Use dry-run, preview, or preflight tools before writes when available.
- For destructive, bulk, or high-impact operations, state the target account or project, expected impact, and exact tool before requesting explicit approval.
- Do not invent tool names. List available tools and use only those exposed by the connected server.
