alert-playbook

alert-playbook is a skill for Claude Code from Sundeepg98/kite-mcp-server. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,301 once invoked), scanned A, original, from a forked repository, MIT.

A guide for choosing and setting price, percentage-change, and volume alerts on Zerodha Kite, an online Indian trading platform. It covers server-managed alerts, Kite's own alerts, and GTT orders, which place an order after a price condition is met.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up Telegram or server alerts, Kite native alerts, percentage-change monitoring, and GTT stop-loss or target orders.
Why use it?
It helps choose between a notification-only alert and an alert that should also place an order. The choice also depends on whether the alert must keep working when the agent's server is offline.

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

alert-playbook 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 11d 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.

Alert Playbook

Three alert systems coexist in this MCP server. Pick the right one for the job.

1. Decide which alert type

System Trigger Notification Survives Kite token expiry? Best for
Server-managed alert (set_alert) Price above/below, % drop/rise with ref price Telegram (if setup_telegram done), server log Yes — server polls Kite; on token expiry it stops and notifies Casual price watching, percentage-change triggers, portfolio-wide monitoring
Kite native alert (place_native_alert) Price above/below, % change, LTP cross Native Kite push/email (ATO) Yes — lives inside Zerodha, independent of our server Long-running alerts you want regardless of our server uptime
GTT (place_gtt_order) Price trigger → order placed Order placement (SMS/email from Kite) Yes — Kite manages it Stop-losses, target exits, buy-on-dip setups with a pre-decided action

Rule of thumb: if the alert should trigger an order, use GTT. If it just needs to ping you, use a server-managed or native alert.

2. Setting a server-managed alert

  1. If Telegram isn't wired yet, walk the user through setup_telegram first (they need to DM the bot to get a chat_id).
  2. Call set_alert with:
    • instrument — e.g., NSE:RELIANCE
    • conditionabove, below, drop_pct, rise_pct
    • value — price for above/below, percent for drop/rise
    • reference_price — required for drop_pct / rise_pct (anchors the % change)
  3. Confirm with list_alerts.

Example: "Alert me when RELIANCE drops 3% from 1400" → condition: drop_pct, value: 3, reference_price: 1400

3. Setting a Kite native alert

Use when the user wants Zerodha to own the alert (survives our server restarts, hosted outside our infra):

  1. Call place_native_alert with the instrument, trigger type, and trigger value.
  2. Notifications go via Kite's own push/email channels — not Telegram.
  3. Manage via list_native_alerts / modify_native_alert / delete_native_alert.

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.
