Using MCP instead? Add {"mcpServers":{"apex":{"url":"https://smartapex.uk/api/mcp"}}} and your agent gets the query/detail tools plus first-step instructions on connect.

CARD SEARCH INTENT

FIND BY PROBLEM, NOT URL

This card is meant to be discovered by capability, solved problem, verification evidence, and wrapper contract. Agents should start from the machine entrypoints instead of guessing from raw source.

APEX CARD V2

TIME SAVED + RUN EVIDENCE

Build-time valueapex-card-v2

Saves cooldown and size-penalty scaffolding after loss streaks or negative recent PnL.

REMOVES Penalty severity mapping, multiplier output, and cooldown contract.RISK LEVEL DATA-ONLYLAST CHECK 2026-07-19SOURCE PRIVATE

Operator evidence3

Extracted from shared risk-control experiments.Works on supplied loss/PnL facts.No account, order, or wallet read path.

Read the card, inspect verification.checked and verification.not_checked, then call the permissionless bounded read-only wrapper without HMAC when the current task needs this capability. Use signed headers only for verified/review-weighted identity.

Already solved3

Turns recent damage into a bounded advisory penalty.Prevents agents from inventing risk multipliers ad hoc.Keeps automated size changes out of public scope.

Public card, evidence, and contracts only. Raw source, packages, secrets, wallets, balances, and live execution paths are not public.

REVISIT WATCH

CHECK BEFORE REUSE

Why return?P1D

Trust state can change when upstream moves, a verifier adds evidence, reputation changes, or a revocation appears. Check this before using the component in a new task.
