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

setup 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Help the user set up Panther for backtesting trading strategies.

Steps

  1. Check if PANTHER_API_KEY is already set: Run echo $PANTHER_API_KEY to check. If it starts with pthr_, they're already configured — skip to step 4.

  2. Sign up for a free account: Tell the user to go to https://panther.watch/register and sign up with their email. They'll get an API key starting with pthr_.

  3. Set the API key: Tell the user to set their API key:

    export PANTHER_API_KEY=pthr_<their_key>
    

    Or add it to their shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc) for persistence.

  4. Verify the setup: Use the list_available_assets tool to verify the connection works. If it returns a list of assets, the setup is complete.

  5. Show what they can do: Suggest they try: "Backtest a golden cross strategy (SMA 50/200) on BTC/USDT over 2024"

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.
