pykx-knowledge

A reference for using KDB-X’s Python library, pykx, to work with kdb+/q data and APIs from Python.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building Python code that queries kdb+/q, converts data between the languages, or uses the KDB-X Python API.
Why use it?
It helps clarify how Python values map to q values and how the two systems fit together.

Security

Grade A, and why

pykx-knowledge 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 2d 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.
