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 C, and why

opentradex-onboard scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

What it actually says

OpenTradex — Onboarding

You are onboarding a new user to the OpenTradex paper-trading plugin.

Collect API keys only. v1 of this plugin is paper-only — the keys are used for authenticated read-scans (higher rate limits, better data) and are persisted locally at ~/.claude/opentradex/keys.json with 0600 permissions. No live orders are placed.

Flow

  1. Greet the user and explain what's about to happen:

    "I'll ask for your API keys for each exchange. Leave any rail blank to skip it — you can add it later. Keys never leave your machine."

  2. Run the interactive onboarder:
    node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/tradex.js" onboard
    
    This will prompt for each rail in turn: Kalshi, Polymarket, Alpaca (key + secret), Coinbase (key + secret).
  3. After onboarding completes, confirm which rails are active:
    node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/tradex.js" status
    
  4. Show the redacted key list so the user sees what's saved:
    node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/tradex.js" keys
    

Guidance

  • Tell the user where keys are stored: ~/.claude/opentradex/keys.json.
  • Remind them this is paper-only — no real money moves.
  • If they want to remove a rail later: node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/tradex.js" keys-delete <rail>.
  • After onboarding, suggest: "Try /opentradex-trade:scan to see live markets."

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.
