What it does

Stock Quote is an agent skill from OctagonAI/octagon-mcp-server. Retrieve a current stock quote and market snapshot with price, range, volume, and moving-average context. Use when the user asks for the latest stock price, quote, intraday range, or a quick market snapshot.

Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: An MCP server for public & prediction markets research. Ask natural-language questions and get structured, source-backed answers across SEC filings, earnings transcripts, company… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for the latest stock price
  • A quick market snapshot

Example prompts

  • “/stock-quote”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a323463. 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

Stock Quote loads about 279 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 75 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~279

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.
