Security

• API-only — HTTP GET/POST returning JSON. No local code, no binaries, no shell commands.
• No secrets in prompt — wallet-based auth. No API keys pass through the LLM context window.
• Read-only — fetches data. Cannot write, modify, or access your filesystem.
• No filesystem access — no file reads, no file writes, no directory listing.
• Security headers — Helmet.js (X-Powered-By removed, XSS protection, content-type sniffing prevention, strict transport security).
• Rate limiting — per-tier rate limits enforced server-side. Key creation: 5 attempts per 15 min per IP.
• Body size limit — 1MB max request body. Rejects oversized payloads.
• Error isolation — global uncaughtException/unhandledRejection handlers. Express error middleware. No stack traces in responses.
• Multi-chain deposits — USDC/USDT accepted on Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon. Same deposit address on all chains.
• VirusTotal verified — 0/62 detections.

Default Agent Pattern

1. GET /api/macro/regime every 4–6 hours → classify risk environment
2. If Risk-Off → suppress trading, reduce exposure
3. If Risk-On → allow strategy execution, check signals
4. GET /api/data/whale-alerts every 15–30 min → event-driven interrupts
5. GET /api/signals/decision-engine before entries → multi-factor confirmation

AgentCanary is risk intelligence middleware. It tells your agent when conditions are favorable — your agent decides what to do.

• Does not predict prices — classifies regimes and states
• Does not place orders or replace execution logic
• Does not provide financial advice
• Does not guarantee returns
