python-conventions

A set of Python coding rules for the polymarket-mcp project, covering types, asynchronous input and output, naming, imports, and HTTP request parameters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing Python in polymarket-mcp, especially functions, tools, API calls, imports, and names.
Why use it?
It gives contributors a shared way to structure changes and avoid inconsistent code. It also keeps edits focused and prevents null values from being sent unnecessarily in API requests.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 273 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

python-conventions 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 yesterday.

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

Python Conventions

Required

  • Type hints on all functions and tool parameters (str | None, list[dict], Literal for enums)
  • All I/O is async; use asyncio.gather for parallel API calls
  • Use uv for dependencies — never pip directly

Imports

Match package import style:

from polymarket_mcp.config import Settings
from polymarket_mcp.utils.helpers import err, get, text
from polymarket_mcp.utils.formatters import format_search_markets

Naming

  • Functions/tools: snake_case (get_user_positions)
  • Types: PascalCase (Settings, Category)
  • MCP tool name matches function name

HTTP Params

Filter None values before API calls — do not send null query params:

params = {"q": query, "events_status": "active" if active_only else None}
data = await get(url, params=params)  # helpers filters None

Scope

  • Keep changes minimal and focused
  • Match surrounding code style; no over-abstraction
  • Add comments only for non-obvious business logic
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.

python-conventions is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository 0xChron/polymarket-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 273 tokens. 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.
