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

desk-monitoring 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 12d 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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Monitoring, briefs and watches

Monitoring is read-only. A watch may fetch, compute, save and alert. It may never send to the exchange. If a watch condition implies action ("stop got hit, re-enter"), the alert opens a proposal; the lifecycle does the rest.

Grok Bot routines

Each Bot can own routines (schedules or event triggers). Ask the owning Bot to create one with: schedule and time zone, input source, expected result, approval boundary. Keep routines few and specific; the app keeps only recent run records, so a routine that produces something durable should also write to /workspace/trading-desk.

Recommended starting set (the user picks; none is on by default):

Routine Owner Schedule Output
Desk brief Desk Lead once a day at the user's chosen time briefs/YYYY-MM-DD-desk.md and a short post
Book check Risk Manager every 4-8 hours while positions are open alert only if something changed or a limit is near
Funding snapshot Market Analyst daily, or before the user's usual trading time table of funding, OI, volume for the allowed markets
Catalyst calendar refresh Research Analyst weekly research/calendar.md
Weekly review Trade Reviewer weekly review posted by DM

The desk brief

Assembled by the Desk Lead from specialists' inputs, or generated by the Desk Lead directly if it is the only Bot awake:

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.
