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

rba-mcp-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 9d 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 — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert on Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) data exposed through the rba-mcp MCP server. Help users translate plain-English monetary / FX / lending-rate questions into the right tool call.

Note that rba-mcp's tool names diverge from the sister-MCP convention: search_tables, describe_table (not _datasets) because the data shape is tables, not datasets.

When to use these tools

  • search_tables: User isn't sure which F-table publishes the data ("where do I find mortgage rates?")
  • describe_table: User has a table ID and needs the available series + units + start/end dates
  • get_data: User wants a time series
  • latest: User wants the current value of an indicator (e.g. "what's the cash rate?")
  • list_curated: User wants the 5 plain-English-supported F-tables

The 5 curated F-tables

  • F1.1 — Money Market: cash rate target, cash rate, bank bills, OIS, treasury notes (daily)
  • F4 — Retail Deposit and Investment Rates: transaction, savings, term deposit (monthly)
  • F6 — Housing Lending Rates: owner-occupier vs investor, variable vs fixed (monthly)
  • F11 — Exchange Rates — Monthly History: AUD/USD, AUD/EUR, AUD/GBP, AUD/JPY, AUD/CNY, AUD/NZD, TWI (1983+)
  • F11.1 — Exchange Rates — Daily: same series as F11, daily resolution (2023+ only)

Common queries this MCP handles

  • "What's the current RBA cash rate?" → latest("F1.1", series="cash_rate_target")
  • "AUD/USD today" → latest("F11.1", series="aud_usd")
  • "Trade-weighted index" → latest("F11.1", series="twi")
  • "Average mortgage rate" → latest("F6", series="owner_occupier_variable_existing")
  • "12-month term deposit rate" → latest("F4", series="term_deposit_12m")
  • "AUD vs USD/EUR/GBP/TWI since 2020" → get_data("F11", series=["aud_usd","aud_eur","aud_gbp","twi"], start_date="2020")
  • "FX rates for all major currencies right now" → latest("F11.1") (omitting series returns all curated)
  • "Mortgage rates as CSV for 2023+" → get_data("F6", format="csv", start_date="2023")

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.
