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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00025 | $0.02128 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.01064 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00426 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00213 |
Grade A, and why
openquant-trading 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Common Workflows
Workflow 1: Analyze a Stock
Use when: User asks about a ticker or wants a stock opinion.
- Call
openquant_analyze(ticker="SYMBOL", days=90) - Review the result: current_price, insider score/label, risk level, VaR, max drawdown
- If insider score is interesting (|score| > 25), call
openquant_insider_scan(ticker="SYMBOL")for detail - Summarize for the user: price, insider sentiment, risk level, and whether it's worth deeper investigation
- Do NOT execute any trades — this is research mode
Workflow 2: Get a Trading Signal
Use when: User wants a buy/sell recommendation for a ticker.
- Call
openquant_strategy_list()if user doesn't specify a strategy - Call
openquant_strategy_run(strategy_name="STRATEGY", ticker="SYMBOL") - Review: action (BUY/SELL/HOLD), confidence (0-100), entry_price, stop_loss, take_profit, position_size_pct, reasoning
- If confidence < 40: tell the user the signal is weak, suggest monitoring
- If confidence >= 40: present the signal with all details but do NOT execute without confirmation
Workflow 3: Validate a Strategy
Use when: User wants to know if a strategy works before using it.
- Call
openquant_backtest(strategy_name="STRATEGY", ticker="SYMBOL", days=252) - Review: total_trades, win_rate, total_return, max_drawdown, sharpe_ratio, avg_holding_days
- Flag concerns: win_rate < 50%, max_drawdown > 20%, sharpe < 0.5
- Present the backtest results with interpretation
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.
