Server tool list (4)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| list_assets | Assets this endpoint can simulate, with the date each series starts and ends. Call before composing a plan so start dates fall inside coverage. |
| data_status | The vintage of the loaded price data and how often it refreshes. |
| run_dca | Simulate one dollar-cost-averaging plan against real historical closes. Returns totals, end-of-year checkpoints and a share_url that opens the same run in the app. |
| compare_plans | Run up to 5 plans over the same data and rank them by final value (2 without a signed-in Pro account or a Pro API key). Use to compare assets, cadences or start dates side by side. One share_url opens them all together. |
