7
+ ### Security
8
+
9
+ - **The API key is no longer in a process's arguments.** The bundled launcher used to
10
+ start `mcp-remote … --header "Authorization: Bearer <key>"`, so the key sat in argv,
11
+ where any process of the same user reads it with `ps` or `pgrep -fl` — and two Prowl
12
+ keys leaked from one machine exactly that way (2026-10-04, 2026-10-09). The launcher
13
+ now exports `PROWL_MCP_AUTH="Bearer <key>"` and passes the literal
14
+ `Authorization:${PROWL_MCP_AUTH}`, which `mcp-remote` expands from its own
15
+ environment. Key sources and their order are unchanged. `test/mcp_launch_test.js`
16
+ asserts no argument carries the key from any source; `negative-self-test.js` plants
17
+ the old form and watches that assertion fire. Verified live against prowl.chat with
18
+ `mcp-remote` 0.14.3: `initialize` and `tools/list` (23 tools) succeed, the argv shows
19
+ only the placeholder.
20
+ - **Restart running sessions after updating.** An `mcp-remote` already running keeps
21
+ its old argv until its session restarts; rotate a key that was exposed.
22
+
23
+ ## v0.6.0 – 2026-09-29
24
+
25
+ Package `@prowl-ai/prowl-skill` 0.6.0 · plugins `prowl` 0.5.0, `prowl-cli` 0.3.0.
26
+
27
+ Real-world market data for your agents. The product changed how it describes itself on
28
+ 2026-09-29, and every surface this repository publishes – both skills, four plugin
29
+ manifests, the marketplace and the README – now says the same thing the product does.
30
+
31
+ ### Changed
32
+
33
+ - **The headline is market data, and the report is the deep mode.** Both skills lead
34
+ with one MCP endpoint and 444 market data tools across 17 providers (search, ads,
35
+ SEO, app stores, reviews, social, trends, finance), each call billed on its own from
36
+ one USD wallet, every number returned with the tool that produced it.
37
+ `prowl_analyze` is described as what it is – a cross-checked report when one call is
38
+ not enough (up to 16 intelligence modules, 8 without a subscription) – rather than
39
+ as the product. "Market-intelligence tools" becomes "market data tools" everywhere.
40
+ The skill descriptions widen their "Use when" to the product's use cases, including
41
+ trends, app store and review data, and stock quotes and market news.
42
+ - **The catalogue count is 444.** `https://prowl.chat/mcp/skill.md` serves
43
+ `→ 444 API tools` (read 2026-09-29). Eight files said 448, and `npm run check:tools`
44
+ listed each of them. The provider count moves 15 → 17 and "60+ SERP engines" becomes
45
+ 102 SearchAPI engines, the figures `prowl-app`'s `mcp_server/_contracts.py` holds.
46
+ - **The starter credit is $15, not $5.** The skill and the README quoted $5, the
47
+ figure from before 2026-09-27; since then signup credit equals one basic report's
48
+ hold.
49
+ - **`brandColor` is `#3f7d5f`** in both Codex manifests. The acid green `#00ff41` is
50
+ retired from the brand.
51
+ - **`defaultPrompt` leads with data**: "Pull Google Trends and news for a keyword"
52
+ replaces "Run a competitive analysis on a domain"; keywords `market-data` and
53
+ `market-research` replace `market-intelligence` and `competitive-analysis`.
54
+ - **The `prowl-cli` page documents CLI `0.3.0`**, whose `--help` states a $5.00 basic
55
+ provider-cost cap (was $2.50) and the wallet holds per tier ($15, $24, $54). The
56
+ page now points at the public docs page that publishes those figures, where it used
57
+ to say none did. **Release `@prowl-ai/cli` 0.3.0 to npm before this version:** the
58
+ release job runs `check-cli.js --release`, which fails on a page that documents a CLI
59
+ npm does not serve.
60
+
61
+ ### Fixed
62
+
63
+ - **`check:tools` reads the hosted document in either wording.** Its second server
64
+ anchor matched only `<n> marketing intelligence API tools`; the hosted document is
65
+ moving to `<n> market data tools`, which would have left one anchor and a check that
66
+ says less than it appears to. It now takes both, and the stated-count pattern takes
67
+ both, so a stale figure in the new wording is still caught. Fixtured both ways in
68
+ `test/tool_count_test.js` and `test/contract_test.js`.
69
+ - **`CHANGELOG.md` is no longer read as a current claim.** Every past release states
70
+ the count it shipped with, so the check was red on history. It is skipped by name
71
+ (`HISTORICAL_FILES`), not by a guess about tense.
