BlackSwan Risk Intelligence

BlackSwan monitors crypto markets 24/7 and produces two risk assessments:

• Flare — Precursor detection from a 15-minute signal window. Use for immediate, alarm-bell risk checks. Before the news breaks.
• Core — State synthesis from a 60-minute signal window. Use for market context and risk assessment. As the news breaks.

When to use each tool

Question	Tool
"Is something happening right now?"	Flare
"What's the overall market risk environment?"	Core
"Should I be worried about sudden moves?"	Flare
"Give me a full risk briefing"	Both (Flare first, then Core)

Endpoints

GET /api/flare

Returns the latest Flare precursor detection assessment.

curl -s https://mcp.blackswan.wtf/api/flare

Response fields:

Field	Description
agent	Always "flare"
data_age	Human-readable age of the data (e.g. "12 minutes ago")
status	"clear" or "alert"
severity	"none", "low", "medium", "high", or "critical"
checked_at	ISO 8601 timestamp of the assessment
assessment	Natural language risk assessment
signals	Array of detected signals, each with type, source, and detail

GET /api/core

Returns the latest Core state synthesis assessment.

curl -s https://mcp.blackswan.wtf/api/core

Response fields:

Field	Description
agent	Always "core"
data_age	Human-readable age of the data (e.g. "1 hour ago")
timestamp	ISO 8601 timestamp of the assessment
environment	"stable", "elevated", "stressed", or "crisis"
assessment	Natural language risk assessment
key_factors	Array of strings describing the main risk factors
sources_used	Array of data source names used in the assessment
data_freshness	Description of how fresh the underlying data is

Interpreting severity levels (Flare)

Severity	Meaning
none	No precursors detected, markets quiet
low	Minor signals, worth noting but not actionable
medium	Notable signals, warrants attention
high	Strong precursors detected, elevated risk of sudden moves
critical	Extreme signals, immediate risk of major market event

Interpreting environment levels (Core)

Environment	Meaning
stable	Normal market conditions, low systemic risk
elevated	Above-normal risk, some stress indicators present
stressed	Significant stress across multiple indicators
crisis	Severe market stress, active dislocation or contagion

Error handling

HTTP Status	Meaning
200	Success, response contains full assessment
502	Agent output failed validation — format may have changed
503	No recent agent runs — system may be starting up
500	Unexpected server error

On non-200 responses, the body is {"error": "..."} with a human-readable message.

Complete risk check pattern

To get a full picture, call both endpoints:

curl -s https://mcp.blackswan.wtf/api/flare
curl -s https://mcp.blackswan.wtf/api/core

Present Flare results first (immediate risks), then Core (broader context).
