market-pulse

A market-news summary tool that reports urgent developments from the last few hours and broader trending stories from the last 48 hours. It uses the AlphaAI market feed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Answering what is moving in the market, checking for breaking developments and adding context from the biggest recent stories.
Why use it?
It separates news that may require action today from stories that mainly describe the wider market backdrop. An empty urgent result can also mean the selected time window had no qualifying events.

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

market-pulse 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Market pulse

Answer "what's happening right now?" from AlphaAI's feed. Two tools cover two different questions — pick the right one:

  • alphai_actionable_now — breaking, decision-grade news from the last few hours. The gate is strict: by default only actionability='high' (something to act on TODAY — guidance cut, halted trading, breaking M&A, surprise print).
  • alphai_trending — top stories of the last 48h by relevance. The "big picture", not necessarily urgent.

Steps

  1. Start narrow, with alphai_actionable_now() (defaults: last 6h, high-actionability). This is the real "is anything breaking" signal.
  2. Read an empty result correctly. Outside major market hours (nights, weekends — crypto trades 24/7, but high-actionability prints still cluster in US/European/Asian sessions) an empty list is expected — it means no high-actionability prints in the window, not that the tool failed. Before concluding "nothing happened", widen once: alphai_actionable_now(hours=24, min_actionability='medium').
  3. Add the backdrop with alphai_trending(limit=10). Use this for the "bigger stories shaping the week" layer even when nothing is breaking.
  4. Optional focus. If the user named a sector or theme, resolve it to tickers (alphai_tickers(q=...) or your own knowledge), then alphai_news_search(tickers=[...], min_relevance=7) — there is no free-text news search; match themes client-side on the returned titles/summaries.

Output

  • Breaking now — the high-actionability items, if any. Each: headline · ticker(s) · one clause on the decision it forces. If none, say so in one line and note the window you checked.
  • Big picture — 3–5 trending stories by relevance, each a one-liner.
  • So what — one or two sentences tying it together (risk-on/off, a sector in focus, an event everyone's positioning around).

Guardrails

  • Don't conflate "trending" with "actionable". A story can dominate the tape (trending) without being something to act on today (actionable). Label which layer each item came from if it matters.
  • Report relevance / actionability honestly; don't upgrade a medium item to "breaking".
  • News, not advice — no trade calls.

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.
