9. Glossary
A quick reference of key terms used throughout Hypaw Terminal and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Agent
A logic unit deployed through Terminal that listens to real-time context and takes action when conditions are met (e.g. posting to Twitter, executing a trade).
Agent Type
Predefined strategy categories such as Social Agent, Whale Watcher, or Tech/Market Agent. Each has a specific action model and context focus.
Context
Structured, real-time data (e.g. price, mentions, wallet activity) delivered to agents through MCP. Context is the input that drives agent logic.
MCP (Model Context Protocol)
The backend system that ingests, normalizes, and delivers live data from multiple sources (e.g. X, Telegram, Hyperliquid) into Terminal-compatible format.

Trigger
The logic condition that determines when an agent acts. Triggers evaluate context in real time and fire when thresholds or rules are satisfied.
Action
What the agent does when a trigger is met. Current actions include posting to Twitter or executing trades on Hyperliquid.
Execution
The process of carrying out an action, such as placing an order or publishing a tweet. All executions are logged and controlled via the Terminal interface.
Cooldown
A timing control that limits how often an agent can act. Prevents overposting or overtrading by setting a delay between executions.
Polling Interval
How frequently an agent checks for new context to evaluate. Typically set in seconds or minutes, depending on use case.
Runtime
The isolated environment where an agent lives and evaluates context. Each runtime is tied to a specific wallet and agent config.
Identity Token
An optional, onchain token deployed for a Social Agent on Hyperliquid. Used to represent and trade ownership or access to that agent’s output.
Hyperliquid
An onchain perpetuals trading platform that Hypaw Terminal integrates with for execution. Used for live trades and context feeds.
OAuth
Authentication protocol used to link your X (Twitter) account with Hypaw Terminal. Required for Social Agent posting permissions.
