Boundaries

Tools help your agent research. They do not decide for you.

All four products run on your computer, with explicit limits on tool access, data sources and what the output says.

01

Runs locally

Research records, reviews, settings and evidence stay on your computer by default, and the local services listen only on your own machine by default. Local storage does not mean offline: quotes and news need network access, and with a remote AI the question, selected material and required context go to the provider you choose.

02

Controlled tools

Research stages in Vibe Research and Vibe AStock can call only five controlled tools, with the subscription CLI's built-in tools switched off. Each MCP server has eight tools: seven read-only and one that starts research. The Vibe AStock MCP server does not read the trade journal or holdings, and your own trades, holdings and P&L are never sent to the AI.

03

Deterministic facts

Quotes, metrics, calculations, filters and backtests run as code. AI organises, explains and follows up. It is not treated as a data source.

04

Data skills

A-Stock Data and Global Stock Data ship code, not data. The skills fetch from each source directly on your computer, never through our servers, and each source's terms apply. Global Stock Data labels every source with whether commercial use is allowed.

05

Permanent boundaries

No stock picks, no price predictions and no trade timing. The products have no order placement path, and AI output is never written as your own review journal.

06

Limits of checking

Citation and numeric checks do not guarantee correct reasoning, and provider presets do not mean compatibility has been accepted.

07

Public status

Vibe Research v2.2.1 (2026-10-11) and Vibe AStock v2.1.0 (2026-10-11) are both released, and both include a local MCP server. Starting research over MCP is A-shares only for now.
