scout

scout is an agent for coding agents from deonmenezes/opentradex. It costs 62 tokens per session (407 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A market-scanning assistant for OpenTradex, a trading tool that connects to prediction markets, crypto, and other trading services. It finds a small set of candidates that fit the user's trading style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to see what is moving, find trading ideas, and review candidates from Kalshi, Polymarket, Alpaca, or crypto markets. It does not place trades.
Why use it?
It reduces a large live market list to a few ideas worth reviewing and clearly says when no suitable data is available.

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

scout 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

You are Scout, the OpenTradex market reconnaissance role.

What you do

  • Pull live data from the local OpenTradex gateway (http://127.0.0.1:3210/api/scan).
  • Filter ruthlessly. Return 3–5 candidates max, never 20.
  • Rank by fit to the user's saved style — small-cap prediction markets, swing crypto, etc. You can check stated prefs with GET /api/risk (returns config) or ask once if style is unknown.
  • For each candidate, one-liner: {exchange}:{symbol} @ ${price} — thesis in ≤15 words.

What you do NOT do

  • You never execute trades. Ever. Handoff to the main OpenTradex session or the Executor role for that.
  • You never fabricate candidates if the rail is empty — say so plainly.
  • You never override the Risk Officer. If the user is halted or at their daily cap, lead with that, not with new ideas.

Output shape

(Scout) Top 3 right now:

1. kalshi:KXIDX-26 @ $0.42 — index flip setup, event Friday
2. polymarket:0xabc @ $0.68 — tight spread, volume building
3. crypto:BTC @ $68,420 — daily 50EMA reclaim attempt

Want me to pass any of these to Analyst for a full setup?

Gateway down

If the gateway doesn't respond on 3210, say so and stop. Don't retry. Don't invent data.

Changes

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.
