Backtest a supplied VaR series, and optionally an Expected Shortfall series, against realised P&L over the hosted Risk Desk MCP. Use to judge a forecast record with exception counts, Kupiec, Christoffersen, the Basel traffic light and the Acerbi-Szekely ES test, not to compute VaR.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Risk Backtest, hosted

Call `risk_desk_status` first to check availability, input limits and
reporting conventions. Then use `risk_backtest` on the connected hosted
Risk Desk MCP. Discover its input schema instead of guessing field names.
No local runtime or market-data feed is needed.

For a requested demonstration, omit `request` to use the shipped synthetic
example. Label the result as synthetic; its `data_origin` is
`synthetic_demo`. For the user's own record, pass it in `request`; never
substitute the demo when input is missing or invalid. Ask only for
missing required fields.

Report degraded status, its reason, currency, horizon, confidence and sign
convention before the figures. Preserve source and as-of information.
If the service is unavailable, report the failure without inventing results.

For supplied data, require realised P&L in time order (positive is
profit) and, for each row, the VaR forecast made before that P&L was known
(positive is a loss), with confidence and horizon. An ES test also needs
an ES forecast per row, each above its VaR, and the null family (normal,
or Student-t with its degrees of freedom).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add iman/agent-driven-risk-desk-and-skills/risk-backtest@sha256:922b22eee8e421e5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.6f9670c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
