Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

SecurityMarketData

Query Return on Security's Signal data through its live MCP interface, with evidence, freshness, and analytical boundaries intact.

Customization

Before executing, check ~/.claude/LIFEOS/USER/CUSTOMIZATIONS/SKILLS/SecurityMarketData/. If present, load enabled preferences and configuration; otherwise use these defaults.

Voice Notification

When executing QueryMarket, run:

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:31337/notify -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"message":"Running the QueryMarket workflow in the SecurityMarketData skill to query cybersecurity market data"}' > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Output: Running the QueryMarket workflow in the SecurityMarketData skill to query cybersecurity market data...

Workflow Routing

WorkflowTriggerFile
QueryMarketAny supported market, company, investor, funding, M&A, or lifecycle queryWorkflows/QueryMarket.md

Load References/ToolCatalog.md only when selecting tools, confirming tiers, or using the REST fallback. Do not preload it for routing.

Setup and Diagnostics

Prefer Streamable HTTP MCP. For Hermes:

hermes mcp add signal-mcp --url https://mcp.returnonsecurity.com/mcp
hermes mcp list

OAuth 2.1 authorization is interactive. It cannot be bypassed, automated away, or claimed complete before the user finishes it.

Optional vendor examples:

claude mcp add signal-mcp https://mcp.returnonsecurity.com/mcp
claude mcp list
codex mcp add signal-mcp https://mcp.returnonsecurity.com/mcp
codex mcp login signal-mcp

Examples

  • Funding trend: “Show quarterly funding trends for cloud security and distinguish observed rounds from forecasts.”

  • Company enrichment: “Enrich this security company and report its category, funding, investors, lifecycle, and data freshness.”

  • Category M&A: “Map identity-security M&A activity, acquirers, and observed consolidation signals for the last three years.”

Gotchas

  • Prefer Streamable HTTP MCP with OAuth 2.1. Tokens last 24 hours; never report authentication as complete until the interactive OAuth flow succeeds.

  • Free access provides 180 calls/day and 12 tools; Pro adds 21 tools; Enterprise adds one. Preserve and report returned quota information.

  • Discover live schemas and never guess arguments. For unfamiliar filters, begin with list_categories and/or list_countries; check get_data_status before substantive queries.

  • Preserve and report freshness. Never imply values the data does not disclose.

  • The proprietary taxonomy has two layers: category domains and product categories, with metadata tags. Do not flatten them into an invented taxonomy.

  • Separate observed records from heuristics and forecasts. Explicitly label suggest_acquirers, forecast_funding, exit_score, and consolidation or growth scores as analytical outputs rather than observed facts.

  • Do not scrape when MCP or REST is available. Use REST only when ROS_API_KEY exists; never request or expose its value.
