What your AI can do with Risk Desk
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “risk_desk_status”: Check the Risk Desk data mode, the public example, the size limits and the sign convention before requesting any figure. No market data feed.”
“Use “risk_tail”: Historical VaR and Expected Shortfall over supplied horizon P&L. Report degraded status and the loss sign convention before the numbers. Omi.”
“Use “risk_exposure”: Gross and net exposure, leverage against NAV and concentration for signed linear positions in one stated base currency. Omit the request to.”
“Use “risk_stress”: Apply explicit asset shocks to all linear positions. No scenario probability is inferred or attached. Omit the request to run the public syn.”
How secure is the Risk Desk MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Risk Desk holds up.
Security grade B
gate scanned 29 tools on Nov 12, 2026 for prompt injection and risky tool definitions — nothing to flag.

Official endpoint
Operated by Risk Desk (avidquant.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Risk Desk adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

https://riskdesk.avidquant.com/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Risk Desk MCP server?
Yes — Risk Desk operates its own remote MCP server at riskdesk.avidquant.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Risk Desk to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Risk Desk in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Risk Desk's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Risk Desk runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Risk Desk MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Risk Desk in minutes. No credit card required.
