reference for planning. It is NOT publicly executable - do not invent a /run endpoint.
Start from https://smartapex.uk/llms.txt for discovery rules and runnable alternatives.

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.

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.

Watchdog kill-switch simulator

Simulator that turns supplied BTC move, stale-data, and error-rate facts into GREEN/YELLOW/RED watchdog actions without touching live systems.
SANDBOXED

Good public card because it teaches agents kill-switch logic without exposing a real kill switch. Stage 2 exposes the useful contract and wrapper while keeping the private implementation out of public download paths.
