Live signals, full audit trail. ``` Scanned 2026-10-21T19:06:24.898Z over streamable-http. **9 tools: 1 can delete or cancel things, 5 change things and 3 only read.** | Group | Class | Tools | Claude Code | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Deletes or cancels | destructive | 1 | deny | | Can't be undone | irreversible | 0 | ask | | Changes things | write | 5 | ask | | Only reads | read | 3 | allow | ## Findings No check matched anything in these tool definitions. ## Deletes or cancels (1) Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny. ### `reset_session` - The name "reset_session" says "reset": a word for a change. - The description's first verb is "kill": a word for removing or ending something. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Kill a broken research session and start fresh. Use this when a session gets stuck, produces errors, or enters a bad state. Free — no credits consumed. After resetting, call research without a session_id to start a new clean session. ``` ## Changes things (5) Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask. ### `autonomous_varrd_ai` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Point VARRD's autonomous AI in a direction and let it discover edges for you. Give it a topic and it draws from one of the most comprehensive market structure knowledge graphs ever built — containing ideologies and theories, not statistics — so it generates genuinely novel hypotheses rather than overfitting to what already worked. BEST FOR: Exploring a space broadly. Give it 'momentum on grains' and it might test wheat seasonal patterns, corn spread reversals, or soybean crush ratio momentum. It propagates from your seed idea into related concepts you might not think of. Returns a complete result — edge or no edge, stats, trade setup. Each call tests ONE hypothesis through the full pipeline (~$0.25/idea). Call again for another idea. Use 'varrd_ai' instead when YOU have a specific idea to test and want full control over each step. ``` ### `buy_credits` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Buy credits for the edge library and AI research. Default $5 minimum. Free — no credits consumed to call this. TWO PAYMENT METHODS: card (default): Returns a Stripe Checkout link for your user to click and pay. After payment, call check_balance to confirm credits were added. crypto: USDC on Base. Fully autonomous — no human needed. Three steps: 1. buy_credits(payment_method='crypto') → returns deposit address + payment_intent_id 2. Send USDC to the deposit address (use your wallet tool) 3. buy_credits(payment_intent_id='pi_...') → confirms payment, credits added instantly If you have wallet access, this is the fastest path — fully machine-to-machine. ``` ### `check_balance` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Check your credit balance and see available credit packs. Free — no credits consumed. Also auto-detects completed payments — call this after your user pays via a checkout link to confirm credits were added. If payment went through, the response includes recovered_cents. ``` ### `varrd_ai` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Talk to VARRD AI (~$0.25/turn). Describe any trading idea in plain language and the system handles everything — loading decades of market data, charting your pattern, running statistical tests, backtesting with stops, and generating exact trade setups. MULTI-TURN: First call creates a session. Keep calling with the same session_id, following context.next_actions each time. 1. Your idea -> VARRD charts pattern 2. 'test it' -> statistical test (event study or backtest) 3. 'show me the trade setup' -> exact entry/stop/target prices HYPOTHESIS INTEGRITY (critical): VARRD tests ONE hypothesis at a time — one formula, one setup. Never combine multiple setups into one formula or ask to 'test all' — each idea must be tested as a separate hypothesis for the statistics to be valid. Say 'start a new hypothesis' between ideas to reset cleanly. - ALLOWED: Test the SAME setup across multiple markets ('test this on ES, NQ, and CL') — same formula, different data. - NOT ALLOWED: Test multiple DIFFERENT formulas/setups at once — each is a separate hypothesis requiring its own chart-test-result cycle. If ELROND council returns 4 setups, test each one separately: chart setup 1 -> test -> results -> 'start new hypothesis' -> chart setup 2 -> etc. KEY CAPABILITIES you can ask for: - 'Use the ELROND council on [market]' -> 8 expert investigators - 'Optimize the stop loss and take profit' -> SL/TP grid search - 'Test this on ES, NQ, and CL' -> multi-market testing - 'Simulate trading this with 1.5 ATR stop' -> backtest with stops EDGE VERDICTS in context.edge_verdict after testing: - STRONG EDGE: Significant vs zero AND vs market baseline - MARGINAL: Significant vs zero only (beats nothing, but real signal) - PINNED: Significant vs market only (flat returns but different from market) - NO EDGE: Neither significant test passed TERMINAL STATES: Stop when context.has_edge is true (edge found) or false (no edge — valid result). Always read context.next_actions. ``` ### `varrd_edges` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text THE PRIMARY TOOL — start here. FREE at depth=0, always safe to call. Live feed of THIS USER'S OWN statistically validated trading edges — the ones on their account — running 24/7 against real market data. See which of YOUR edges are firing right now, get trade levels, or audit the full methodology. Scoped to the connected account: if the user has no edges yet, this returns none (it is NOT a general/shared library). THREE TIERS: depth=0 (FREE — call this first): See which of YOUR edges are firing right now, pending bar close, or actively in trades. Markets and status only — no direction, no stats. Get a sense of what's live. depth=1 ($0.50): Unlock direction, occurrence count, EV/trade, stop-loss, take-profit, hold horizon, and current entry prices for ALL active edges in one request. depth=2 ($1 per edge, $5 for all): Full methodology — the actual formula, setup code, how the edge was discovered, edge decay analysis, complete performance analytics (Sharpe, drawdown, equity curve, profit factor). Machine-readable so any AI can audit the statistical rigor. Includes drill-down sections (free after purchase): setup_code, horizons, analytics, occurrences, and view (interactive chart link for your user, 15 min). Every edge in this library is Bonferroni-corrected, tested against both zero returns and market baseline, with K-tracking to prevent p-hacking. Out-of-sample validated. Full transparency. ``` ## Only reads (3) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `get_briefed` - The name "get_briefed" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get a personalized market news briefing based on your validated edge library. Profiles your strategies, searches today's news for the instruments and setups you actually trade, and writes a concise digest connecting each headline to your specific book. Each news item includes a ↳ line tying it to your actual positions and edges (e.g. 'your ES momentum setups', 'your GC mean-reversion edge'). Requires at least 5 strong edges in your library. Costs credits. ``` ### `get_hypothesis` - The name "get_hypothesis" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get full detail for a specific hypothesis/strategy. Returns formula, entry/exit rules, direction, performance metrics (win rate, Sharpe, profit factor, max drawdown), version history, and trade levels. Everything an agent needs to understand and act on a strategy. ``` ### `search` - The name "search" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Search your saved hypotheses by keyword or natural language query. Returns matching strategies ranked by relevance, with key stats (win rate, Sharpe, edge status). Use this to find strategies you've already validated. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `varrd`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__varrd__search", "mcp__varrd__get_hypothesis", "mcp__varrd__get_briefed" ], "ask": [ "mcp__varrd__varrd_edges", "mcp__varrd__varrd_ai", "mcp__varrd__check_balance", "mcp__varrd__buy_credits", "mcp__varrd__autonomous_varrd_ai" ], "deny": [ "mcp__varrd__reset_session" ] } } ```
