What is asic-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project-specific instructions for an MCP server connected to Australian Securities and Investments Commission public datasets. MCP is a standard way for software tools to provide data to an agent.

Use them when developing or maintaining the ASIC public-data server and its Python package.

They document the data sources, formats, licences, curated datasets, required modules, and repository-specific cautions.

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	$0.01874	$0.01874
Opus 5.5	$0.00750	$0.00750
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00375	$0.00375
Haiku 4.5	$0.00187	$0.00187

Security

Grade A, and why

asic-mcp CLAUDE.md 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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to ato-mcp CLAUDE.md — 44 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Repo-specific gotchas

Registers are flat snapshots, NOT time series. latest() would have dumped 359k+ rows by default; v0.1.1+ caps via limit=50 with DataResponse.truncated_at preserving original count.
Updated weekly by ASIC. stale threshold is 14 days for these registers.
Always pass filters (licensee_name, adviser_number, current_status) when possible — full-register dumps are last-resort.
top_n is intentionally absent. ASIC registers are flat entity snapshots (one row per licensee/adviser/banned-person). They don't have a numeric measure to rank by; "top 10 financial advisers" isn't a meaningful query. The latest(... limit=N) parameter already serves the "give me the first N rows matching these filters" use case. If a downstream caller wants alphabetical ranking, they can sort the records client-side.

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.
