What it does

Sec Debt Covenant is an agent skill from OctagonAI/skills. Analyze debt covenants and credit agreement terms from SEC filings using Octagon MCP. Use when researching financial covenants, leverage ratios, interest coverage requirements, credit facilities, debt maturity schedules, and covenant compliance from 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filings.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `marketplace.json` and `references/interpreting-results.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and SEC EDGAR. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Claude skills for agentic financial research by Octagon. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Researching financial covenants
  • Leverage ratios
  • Interest coverage requirements
  • Credit facilities

Example prompts

  • “/sec-debt-covenant”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Analysis Parameters
  2. Execute Query via Octagon MCP
  3. Expected Output
  4. Interpret Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51e938c. 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 (its code samples are json).

    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

Sec Debt Covenant loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 773 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.7k

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.
