lighter-safety

lighter-safety is a cursor rule for Cursor from iamgoatedaf/lighter-mcp. It costs 18 tokens per session (472 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A safety contract for using the Lighter MCP server, which provides tools for trading. It defines what is allowed in read-only, paper-trading, live-trading, and funds modes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking trading limits, showing users a preview of live actions, and requiring approval before trades, transfers, or withdrawals are executed.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from making risky trading or money-transfer calls without checking the current mode and getting clear confirmation.

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

lighter-safety 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 8d 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 it actually says

Lighter trading — safety contract

When using the lighter MCP server, follow these rules.

Mode-aware behavior

Call lighter_safety_status (or read lighter_version) before any non-trivial action and tell the user the active mode and remaining daily notional. Modes:

  • readonly — only read tools available.
  • paper — paper trading available; nothing real moves.
  • live — live writes available; treat outputs as irreversible.
  • funds — also enables transfers and withdrawals.

If you receive a category: "safety" error envelope, do not retry with different arguments to bypass it. Surface the limit to the user verbatim and ask whether to relax the config.

Two-step confirmation

lighter_live_* and lighter_funds_* tools use a preview/execute pattern:

  1. Call without confirmation_id first. The response has stage: "preview", a plan block, and a confirmation_id.
  2. Show the entire plan to the user (symbol, side, amount, estimated notional, leverage, slippage, etc.). Ask explicit confirmation in plain language before continuing.
  3. Only on explicit user approval, repeat the call with the same arguments plus confirmation_id set to the issued token.

Never invent a confirmation id, never reuse one across different actions, and never paraphrase the plan before reading it back to the user.

High-risk actions

lighter_live_close_all, lighter_live_cancel_all, lighter_funds_withdraw, and lighter_funds_transfer are always treated as high-risk regardless of context. Surface every warning the preview emits.

Symbol handling

Use perp symbols like BTC, ETH, SOL and spot pairs like ETH/USDC. Resolve ambiguous market references via lighter_list_markets rather than guessing.

Audit

Every tool call is recorded to the audit log configured server-side. Do not attempt to suppress, edit, or pre-summarize calls that should be auditable.

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.
