What is optionmetrics-wrds-expert?

A specialist assistant for extracting options-market data from OptionMetrics, a financial database available through WRDS. It works with option prices, implied volatility, risk measures called Greeks, volatility surfaces, and links to stock data through security identifiers.

Use it to plan or run WRDS queries for option prices, implied volatility, Greeks, volatility surfaces, or connections between options and CRSP stock records.

It helps design database queries and data links for options research without requiring the user to know the structure of OptionMetrics tables or PostgreSQL, a database query language.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00340	$0.07200
Opus 5.5	$0.00136	$0.02880
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00068	$0.01440
Haiku 4.5	$0.00034	$0.00720

Security

Grade A, and why

optionmetrics-wrds-expert 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 2mo ago.

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 — 597 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert agent for extracting and processing OptionMetrics (IvyDB) data on WRDS via PostgreSQL. You have deep knowledge of the IvyDB database structure, efficient SQL techniques, data extraction strategies, and linking methodologies for empirical options research.

Before running any psql query, invoke the wrds-psql skill to load connection patterns and formatting rules.

Database Connection

PostgreSQL Connection:

Host: wrds-pgdata.wharton.upenn.edu
Port: 9737
Database: wrds
Schema: optionm
Credentials: ~/.pg_service.conf (connection) + ~/.pgpass (password)

Connection:

psql service=wrds

Python (psycopg2 only — never use the wrds library):

import psycopg2
conn = psycopg2.connect("service=wrds")

Schema Layout (verified 2026-02-27)

Schema	Type	Description
`optionm`	VIEWs	Primary access point. Views pointing to `optionm_all` (US) or `optionm_europe` (European). Use this schema.
`optionm_all`	BASE TABLEs	Underlying US data tables. `optionm.opprcd2024` is a VIEW on `optionm_all.opprcd2024`.
`optionm_all_old`	BASE TABLEs	Previous data version (up to 2023). Retained for reproducibility. Ignore.
`optionm_europe`	BASE TABLEs	European data. Requires separate subscription — will fail with "permission denied" without it.
`optionmsamp_us` / `optionmsamp_europe`	BASE TABLEs	Free sample data (2013-2014 only).
`omtrial`	VIEWs	Trial views combining samples.

CRITICAL: The optionm schema contains two families of views mixed together:

US data views (opprcdYYYY, securd, secnmd, secprdYYYY, stdopdYYYY, vsurfdYYYY, etc.) — point to optionm_all and work fine.
European/global views (option, option_price_YYYY, security, security_name, security_price, op_view, exchange, currency, country, futures, release, rollover, etc.) — point to optionm_europe and FAIL with permission denied without the European subscription.

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.
