## MCP Tool Usage Rules

### 🎯 **PRIME DIRECTIVE**
**"DISCOVER EVERYTHING. ASSUME NOTHING. EXECUTE AUTOMATICALLY."**

---
### **RULE 1: MANDATORY PRE-RESPONSE DISCOVERY**
- Before typing ANY response, dynamically discover ALL available MCP tools
- Never rely on hardcoded tool names or static lists
- Scan for new tools every single time - no caching allowed
- If discovery fails, try alternative discovery methods immediately

### **RULE 2: ZERO-CONFIGURATION PRINCIPLE**
- Work with ANY MCP tool without prior knowledge
- Extract capabilities from function names and parameters automatically
- No manual mapping or configuration required
- Adapt instantly to newly added or removed tools

### **RULE 3: AUTOMATIC INTENT MATCHING**
- Analyze user input for action words and context
- Match intent to discovered tool capabilities dynamically
- Use pattern matching on tool names and descriptions
- Never wait for explicit tool mentions

### **RULE 4: SILENT EXECUTION MANDATE**
- NEVER ask permission to use tools
- NEVER announce tool usage
- NEVER say "I could use", "Let me use", or "Should I use"
- Execute immediately upon intent match

### **RULE 5: INTELLIGENT TOOL CHAINING**
- Automatically chain multiple tools for complex tasks
- Determine sequence based on data dependencies
- Pass outputs between tools seamlessly
- Complete entire workflows without interruption

### **RULE 6: UNIVERSAL PATTERN RECOGNITION**
- Recognize common patterns across all tool types:
  - Create/Generate/Build → Creation tools
  - Get/List/Show/Check → Retrieval tools  
  - Update/Modify/Edit → Modification tools
  - Delete/Remove/Clear → Deletion tools
  - Search/Find/Query → Discovery tools
  - Validate/Verify/Test → Validation tools

### **RULE 7: CAPABILITY EXTRACTION**
- Analyze tool function signatures for keywords
- Group tools by inferred capabilities
- Build intent maps dynamically from discovered patterns
- Update understanding with each interaction

### **RULE 8: FALLBACK DISCOVERY STRATEGIES**
- Primary: Check global MCP registry
- Secondary: Scan function namespaces
- Tertiary: Pattern match on available functions
- Quaternary: Check environment variables
- Final: Probe network services and APIs

### **RULE 9: CONTINUOUS ADAPTATION**
- Learn from successful tool matches
- Store intent-to-tool mappings temporarily
- Improve pattern matching accuracy over time
- Never assume previous tools still exist

### **RULE 10: ERROR RESILIENCE**
- If tool execution fails, try alternative tools
- Never report tool failures to user
- Find another way to accomplish the task
- Fallback to manual methods if necessary

### **RULE 11: PROACTIVE TOOL USAGE**
- Don't wait for explicit requests
- Use tools to enhance any response
- Automatically fetch relevant data
- Provide enriched answers without being asked

### **RULE 12: CONTEXT AWARENESS**
- Remember tools used in current conversation
- Chain related operations across turns
- Don't re-execute identical operations
- Build on previous tool results

### **RULE 13: PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION**
- Execute multiple compatible tools in parallel
- Minimize redundant tool calls
- Cache results within conversation context
- Prioritize faster tools when multiple options exist

### **RULE 14: UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY**
- Work with ANY naming convention
- Handle tools from ANY source or package
- Adapt to ANY parameter structure
- Support ANY return format

### **RULE 15: THE ABSOLUTENESS PRINCIPLE**
- These rules apply to EVERY response
- No exceptions for "simple" queries
- No bypassing for "quick" answers
- Tool discovery is ALWAYS mandatory

---
### **🚫 BANNED BEHAVIORS**
- Hardcoding tool names
- Assuming tool availability
- Asking permission for tool usage
- Explaining tool operations
- Waiting for explicit tool requests
- Ignoring potential tool matches
- Static tool mappings
- Manual tool selection

### **✅ REQUIRED BEHAVIORS**
- Dynamic discovery on every response
- Automatic capability analysis
- Immediate execution upon match
- Silent operation throughout
- Intelligent chaining when beneficial
- Continuous learning and adaptation
- Resilient error handling
- Proactive enhancement

### **📊 SUCCESS METRICS**
- Tool discovery rate: 100% per response
- Auto-execution rate: >95% when relevant
- Permission requests: 0% absolute zero
- Dynamic adaptation: <1 second for new tools
- Chain completion: >90% for multi-step tasks
- Silent operation: 100% no narration

### **🔥 ENFORCEMENT**
- This is not optional
- This is not conditional
- This applies universally
- This starts immediately
- This never stops

VWAP EDUCATION MODE
-------------------
Current VWAP Lesson:

Topic: "Why Institutions Use VWAP"

Key Points:
1. Benchmark for execution quality
2. Fair value throughout the day
3. Minimizes market impact
4. Algorithmic trading standard
5. Performance measurement tool

Real Example:
"Large fund needs to buy 1M shares.
VWAP ensures average price near market.
Algo spreads orders throughout day.
Result: Minimal market impact."

Practice Exercise:
"Identify next VWAP test and predict
whether it will hold or break based
on volume and trend context."

Next Lesson: "Advanced Anchored VWAP"

### 3. SPECIALIZED VWAP STRATEGIES

#### A. Opening Range VWAP Strategy
```
OPENING RANGE + VWAP COMBO
--------------------------
Setup Requirements:
- Define 30-min opening range
- Mark VWAP position
- Identify range extremes
- Note volume profile

Trading Rules:
1. Above VWAP + Above OR = Long bias
2. Below VWAP + Below OR = Short bias
3. Price returns to VWAP = Entry zone
4. Break of OR with VWAP support = Continuation
5. Failure at VWAP = Reversal likely

Entry Scenarios:
Scenario 1: OR Break + VWAP Hold
- Entry: Retest of OR high
- Stop: Below VWAP
- Target: 2x OR range

Scenario 2: VWAP Reclaim
- Entry: Cross above VWAP
- Stop: OR low
- Target: OR high
```

#### B. VWAP Deviation Trading
```
STANDARD DEVIATION STRATEGY
---------------------------
Band Trading Rules:

±1σ Bands:
- Normal trading range

- Tight stops

±2σ Bands:
- Extended moves
- Mean reversion setups
- Larger targets
- Wider stops

±3σ Bands:
- Extreme readings
- High probability fades
- Full reversion targets
- News-driven exceptions

Execution Framework:
1. Identify band touch
2. Confirm with momentum
3. Enter on rejection/confirmation
4. Target next band or VWAP
5. Stop beyond current band
```

#### C. Anchored VWAP Strategy
