Guide for accessing financial and economic data in MATLAB using the Datafeed Toolbox.

  • Connecting to any of these data providers from MATLAB
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Provider Overview and Quick Interface Selection, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Stock and market analysis

What it does

Matlab Access Datafeed is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Guide for accessing financial and economic data in MATLAB using the Datafeed Toolbox. Covers Bloomberg (market data via bloomberg/blp/bloombergHypermedia), FRED (Federal Reserve economic data via fredrs), Haver Analytics (economic data via haver/haverdirect/haverview), and LSEG Datastream (historical data via datastreamws). Use when connecting to any of these data providers from MATLAB.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/bloomberg.md` and `references/datastreamws.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Stock and market analysis. The repository describes itself as: The MATLAB Agentic Toolkit brings proven MATLAB capabilities to AI agents, making engineering and scientific workflows agent-ready.

When your agent uses it

  • Connecting to any of these data providers from MATLAB
  • Tasks that involve Stock and market analysis

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-access-datafeed”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3303f05. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Matlab Access Datafeed loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 429 words (~1,094 tokens).

“Access financial and economic data from four major providers through the MATLAB Datafeed Toolbox.”
