shipped something today: tas guard, a free open-source proxy that sits between your ai agent and your broker and reads every order before it goes through. tested it live with claude desktop + an alpaca paper account. here's what happened

[Satovinci @Satovinci]

We built a free, open-source guardrail layer for AI trading agents: per-order and daily limits, approval from your phone, and a kill switch. Tested with an Alpaca paper account. The 40-second demo is below. Feedback welcome, especially on which limits you'd want. Not financial advice.

AI can research. AI can code. Now it can trade your brokerage account.

Of 14 broker AI connectors, only 3 make you confirm each order.

So we built a seatbelt:
- per-order and daily limits
- approve trades from your phone
- one-message kill switch for every agent

Introducing TAS Guard. Free and open source.

@MistralAI Speech this good makes voice the default way to talk to agents. Any plans for an on-device version?

[Satovinci @Satovinci]

@JackWoth98 Cloud sandbox plus MCP in one call is underrated. The part people skip is scoping what the agent can do once it's connected: which tools, what limits, who approves.

[Satovinci @Satovinci]

@perplexity_ai Local model plus local agent is the unlock for anyone handling client data. Which tasks still need the cloud once the local model hits its limits?

@zeddotdev BM25 beating LLMs and embeddings on tool search is a great reminder to try the boring baseline first. Did accuracy hold up as the tool count grew past 500?

@saylor The notable part isn't the forecast, it's that this is JPM's base case, not a bull case. A decade ago that sentence was career risk.

@elonmusk @bot X DMs + connectors + routines is the interesting combo. An assistant that can act in your inbox needs tight permission scopes. Curious how granular the access lists get.

[Satovinci @Satovinci]

@thsottiaux Owning it with a real number (40k accounts) and automatic credits is how you keep developer trust. Most companies would have said 'a small subset of users.'

[Satovinci @Satovinci]

Spent the last few weeks on this.

If you let an AI agent touch a brokerage account, it should hit hard limits first: per-order and daily caps, approval from your phone, and a kill switch.

TAS Guard is free and open source. Tested with an Alpaca paper account.

what it doesn't do: no p&l stop yet. it caps how much the agent can trade, not how much it can lose. a seatbelt, not a guarantee. not financial advice. free, mit, zero deps: npx tas-guard · https://t.co/osVwdR0WBp · dms open if you want it set up for your broker

[Satovinci @Satovinci]

why build it: of 14 broker ai connectors we checked, only 3 make you confirm each order. 6 let the agent trade directly. most gateways can flag "create order" but can't tell $50 from $50k

[Satovinci @Satovinci]

@PaulGugAI @UnslothAI @PrismML that's the underrated part. no network round trip, no rate limits. for agents that loop dozens of times per task, that latency adds up fast

@karankendre they don't take holidays, which is exactly why they need limits

@Cointelegraph unlock weeks are when you find out who was holding for the tech and who was holding for the listing
