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

mcp_finnhub 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (__init__.py, server.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Critical: Reuse Prior Results

Follow-up questions ("what's the market cap?", "what do analysts say?") should use data from earlier tool responses before making new calls. If you already fetched a company profile or financials, surface that data directly.

Stock Symbols

Use uppercase US ticker symbols: AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, TSLA.

For non-US stocks, use the exchange-suffixed format the user provides.

News Categories

get_market_news accepts: general, forex, crypto, merger.

Default is general. Match the category to the user's intent. If results seem sparse or irrelevant, try a different category. Use min_id from the last article to paginate for more results.

Multi-Step Workflows

"Should I invest in X?" or "Tell me about X stock":

  1. get_company_profile(symbol) for company context
  2. get_stock_quote(symbol) for current price
  3. get_basic_financials(symbol) for valuation metrics
  4. get_recommendation_trends(symbol) for analyst consensus
  5. get_insider_transactions(symbol) for insider buying/selling activity

"What's happening in the market?":

  1. get_market_news(category="general") for headlines

"What are insiders doing at X?":

  1. get_insider_transactions(symbol) for recent Form 4 filings
  2. get_insider_sentiment(symbol) for monthly buy/sell trend

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.
