r/PublicApp

Anyone else out there trading with Agents yet? I know PCS and hardware. I don't know too much about AI. Looking for fellow users to try and get the most out of this tech.

Can you do anything with the agents, like have it scan the market, buy/sell shares, buy/sell options, give you a list of all AI stocks, etc? Like can the agent do anything a human could do on this app? Secondly, is there an mcp server where you can connect your own openclaw/Hermes agent to? That way I can ask my personal agent that i speak to daily on openclaw to handle my assets. Finally, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, how safe is this tool? Agent tools like openclaw are super cool, but have been noted as huge security risks if not careful. Im scared that my agent could get hacked through some malicious library and sell all my stocks, transfer a bunch of funds, send my funds to another fake account, etc.

Also, any info on when we can get access?

We just updated our Python SDK, CLI, MCP server, and agent skills to include market data endpoints — specifically historical bars (1-min to 1-day, 5 years) and live quotes.

For anyone building on their API this is a meaningful update. Previously you had to pull market data from a separate source and route orders through Public. Now the data and execution layer are in the same SDK.

Practical use case: your Python strategy pulls historical bars to backtest, switches to live quotes at market open, and routes orders — all through one API key. Or if you're running MCP with Claude, the agent now sees live prices before constructing an order.
