What is openquant AGENTS.md?

A repository instruction file for connecting Codex or OpenCode to OpenQuant, a trading service that provides market research tools through an MCP server.

Configuring the OpenQuant MCP connection and using tools for ticker analysis, insider activity, risk, and related research.

It explains how to connect the agent and which trading research tools are available, so setup and tool selection do not have to be worked out from scratch.

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	$0.01649	$0.01649
Opus 5.5	$0.00660	$0.00660
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00330	$0.00330
Haiku 4.5	$0.00165	$0.00165

Security

Grade A, and why

openquant AGENTS.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 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.

OpenQuant — Codex / OpenCode Agent Instructions

This file teaches Codex and OpenCode agents how to use OpenQuant's trading tools via the MCP server.

MCP Server Connection

OpenQuant exposes an MCP server with SSE transport. Start it with:

pip install openquant-cli[mcp]
openquant-mcp

The server runs at http://localhost:8000/sse by default.

MCP Client Configuration

For Codex/OpenCode, configure the MCP server in your agent settings:

SSE transport (remote):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openquant": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse",
      "transport": "sse"
    }
  }
}

Stdio transport (local process):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openquant": {
      "command": "openquant-mcp",
      "transport": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

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.
