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 5.1 | $0.00092 | $0.01537 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.00768 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00307 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00154 |
Grade A, and why
options-analysis 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 9d 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.

Options Analysis with ApexVol
You have access to 43 ApexVol tools for live options analytics. This skill tells you which tools to combine for common analyses and how to interpret the numbers.
Ground rules
- Fetch before claiming. Never state an IV rank, GEX level, or expected move from memory — call the tool. Quote the timestamp that comes back with the data.
- Volatility numbers are percentage points. IV 12.3 means 12.3% — never rescale. VRP is quoted as IV minus realized vol, in points.
- Tier gating: each tool follows the user's ApexVol plan. A 403 means that tool sits above their tier — say which tool was gated and continue with what you can access; don't retry.
- Rate limits: 60 requests/min, 1,000/hr. Batch your thinking: plan which 3-6 calls answer the question rather than fetching everything.
- Flow tools (
get_options_flow,get_smart_money_flow) may report themselves unavailable; relay that honestly instead of substituting guesses. - This is analysis, not financial advice — present numbers, comparisons, and trade-offs, and note key risks (assignment, earnings gaps, liquidity).
Workflow: Is volatility rich or cheap on X?
get_iv_rank(ticker)— where current IV sits in its 52-week range.get_volatility_risk_premium(ticker)— IV minus realized vol.get_term_structure(ticker)— front-month vs back-month shape.- Optional:
get_volatility_cone(ticker)for IV vs realized across windows.
Interpretation:
- IV rank > 50 and positive VRP → premium historically rich; selling structures have a tailwind. IV rank > 80 usually means a known catalyst — check earnings before calling it "expensive."
- IV rank < 30 and VRP near zero or negative → options cheap relative to movement; favors long-vol/debit structures.
- Negative VRP (realized exceeding implied) is a warning for premium sellers regardless of IV rank.
- Term structure in backwardation (front above back) signals event risk or stress; contango is the normal state.
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.

options-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository ryansilk/apexvol-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 1,537 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
