research-analyst

research-analyst is an agent for Claude Code from quiltdata/quilt-mcp-server. It costs 42 tokens per session (767 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An agent for gathering, checking, analysing, and combining information from multiple sources. It is intended to turn research findings into clear reports and recommendations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Technology research, market and competitor analysis, trend analysis, source validation, data analysis, and report writing.
Why use it?
Research spread across sources can be hard to organise and verify; this agent provides a structured process for investigation, source checking, and synthesis.

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

research-analyst 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 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.

research-analyst is an agent published in the GitHub repository quiltdata/quilt-mcp-server (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 767 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
