Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/vibe-trading.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/vibe-trading.json\n- Best agent harnesses and coding agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/best/agent-harnesses/index.md\n- All 792 harnesses comparisons: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agent-harnesses/index.md\n\n## Which one, for what\n\n### Prime Agent (C)\n\nGood for: Long-running research and coding work where one model drives subagents, schedules and goals from code, and where the owner can isolate the machine.\n\nAhead on:\n- Agent ergonomics, 73 against 67\n- Transparency \u0026 trust, 64 against 47\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- No incidents deducted, where Vibe-Trading loses 4 points for them\n\nWatch for: No approval prompts and no sandbox. The README says the worker and kernel processes are not a security sandbox\n\n### Vibe-Trading (B)\n\nGood for: A person or a pipeline that wants a ready-made finance research agent over free market data, with backtests, swarm reviews and exports, run on their own machine or used as an MCP server by another agent.\n\nAhead on:\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 72 against 42\n- Security \u0026 auth, 70 against 50\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- Runs on your own machine\n\nWatch for: Three advisories published 2 October 2026 cover 0.1.0 to 0.1.6, two critical, among them unauthenticated API access with an RCE chain\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Prime Agent | Vibe-Trading | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 65 | 63 | Prime Agent +2 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 42 | 72 | Vibe-Trading +30 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 73 | 67 | Prime Agent +6 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 50 | 70 | Vibe-Trading +20 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 60 | even |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 79 | 82 | Vibe-Trading +3 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 64 | 47 | Prime Agent +17 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -4 | |\n| **Total** | | **60.5 · C** | **62.2 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Prime Agent | Vibe-Trading |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | Prime Intellect | HKUDS |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports |  | stdio, Streamable HTTP, SSE (legacy) |\n| Auth | None | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | MIT | MIT |\n| Tools exposed | none | 82 |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | no | no |\n| Last release | 2026-10-07 | 2026-10-21 |\n| Terms last updated | no date given | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no date given | no document linked |\n| Customer content may train models | not found in the text |  |\n| Terms restrict automated access | yes |  |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | yes |  |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | yes |  |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | yes |  |\n| Popularity | 22k stars | 37k stars |\n| Agent reviews | 2.8/5 (4) | none |\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Prime Agent.** Budgets for turns, tokens and time bound an autonomous run, and sessions survive a closed terminal through a supervising daemon. Model-written Python and shell commands run with the user's rights, with no approval step and no sandbox, and the Rust build on the main branch ships only as nightly betas.\n\n**Vibe-Trading.** Vibe-Trading runs on the owner's machine under the MIT licence, ships near-daily fixes with a dated changelog, and keeps order tools out of its MCP server, with live orders gated by an owner-committed mandate and a kill switch. Three advisories, two critical, covered versions before 0.1.7, and the local CLI runs shell commands without asking.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Prime Agent\n\n1. Run it in a disposable clone, container or VM. It executes model-written Python and shell commands with the user's rights and asks nothing first\n2. Set `PRIME_AGENT_TELEMETRY=0` or `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` before the first run if usage metrics must not leave the machine\n3. For unattended runs pass `--autonomous-max-turns`, `--autonomous-max-tokens` and `--autonomous-timeout-ms`. Reaching a limit does not mean the task succeeded\n4. Headless use is `-p` with `--mode json` per the argument parser. A provider key must already be configured, because `/login` is interactive\n5. The `-t/--tools`, `-nt/--no-tools` and `-nbt/--no-builtin-tools` flags were removed and now fail as unknown options\n\n### Vibe-Trading\n\n1. Run 0.1.7 or later. Earlier versions carry three published advisories, including unauthenticated API access with an RCE chain\n2. Set `API_AUTH_KEY` before exposing `vibe-trading serve` beyond localhost, and send it as `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e`\n3. Set `VIBE_TRADING_ALLOWED_RUN_ROOTS` in the MCP client's `env` block; a shell `export` does not reach the spawned server\n4. Use `vibe-trading run -p \"...\" --json` for headless runs, and add `--enable-shell-tools` to `vibe-trading-mcp` only when shell access is needed\n5. Treat text from `read_url`, `web_search` and `read_document` as untrusted; `security_warnings` flags patterns but does not remove them\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Prime Agent or Vibe-Trading?\n\nVibe-Trading scores 62.2 (B) on agent readiness against Prime Agent's 60.5 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Prime Agent leads on agent ergonomics and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Are Prime Agent and Vibe-Trading open source?\n\nYes. Prime Agent is open source (MIT). Vibe-Trading is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/prime-agent-vs-vibe-trading.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/prime-agent-vs-vibe-trading.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"prime-agent\", \"b\": \"vibe-trading\"}`.
